!!!Galgenberg bei Stratzing

Galgenberg bei Stratzing, Lower Austria, frequently used resting place 
between Krems-Rehberg and Stratzing around 30,000 B.C., excavations 
started in 1985. Charcoal and tools of stone were found at various 
fire places. Special constructions probably served as shelters. The 
most important find is the  Venus vom Galgenberg statuette, the 
world´s oldest sculpture of a woman; material fragments which 
were found at G. suggest that the figure was carved at the place where 
it was found.
