Bay of Bones - Macedonia

We took a boat on Ohrid Lake to the Bay of Bones Museum.  The bones that were found were that of animals, not humans.  It is believed that the Neolithic people cremated their dead.  The people built their village on the lake, most likely due to the bears and wolves on the shore.  The village was constructed on top of large tree truck pillars embedded in the lake bottom.  The wood did not deteriorate in the fresh water as it would in sea water so some of the stumps still remain.  The site we visited was a reconstruction of what a typical village would look like.  We had the whole place to ourselves!
