Bronze Age Carved Stone Is Europe’s Oldest Map
POOLE, England. A slab of stone, engraved with intricate lines and motifs dating to the Bronze Age, has been revealed to be Europe’s oldest map, researchers say.
Using high-resolution 3D surveys and photogrammetry, researchers re-examined the Saint-Bélec Slab an engraved and partly broken piece of stone that was discovered in 1900 but forgotten about for almost a century.
Researchers from the French National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (Inrap), the UK’s Bournemouth University, the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the University of Western Brittany say the recent study of the stone has revealed it to be the oldest cartographic representation of a known territory in Europe.
