1006 BE - Neolithic Flint Mines at Spiennes (Mons) (2000)

Brief Description

"The Neolithic flint mines at Spiennes, covering more than 100 ha, are the largest and earliest concentration of ancient mines in Europe. They are also remarkable for the diversity of technological solutions used for extraction and for the fact that they are directly linked to a settlement of the same period."
斯皮耶纳新石器时代的燧石矿

"斯皮耶纳新石器时代的燧石矿面积达100多公顷,是欧洲最大且最早的古代矿坑汇集地。这些燧石矿的非凡在于提炼技术的多样化,及其与当时人类聚落之间的直接联系。"
