In 1980s, archaeologists uncovered a remarkable Neolithic wooden road near Nieuw-Dordrecht in the Netherlands. This ancient peat road, dating back 4573 years, stretches for 800m. Through meticulous science of dendrochronology, or tree-ring dating, experts have pinpointed its construction to 2549 BC.

This discovery not only highlights advanced engineering skills of Neolithic communities but also offers invaluable insights into their transportation and trade practices.
