Bylany is a Danubian Neolithic (New Stone Age) archaeological site located around 65 km (40 mi) east of Prague in the Czech region of Bohemia.

[2][3][4][5][6] Bylany (Bohemia, Czech Republic), in addition to Eythra (Saxony, Germany), Herxheim (Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany), Těšetice (Moravia, Czech Republic), is regarded as the residential area for the first farmers in Europe and one of the largest Neolithic settlements in Central Europe.

Studies have also uncovered non-moveable features of the period these include longhouses and rondels identified using non-destructive methodologies i.e. aerial and geophysical prospection, and other methods such as magneto-metric anaysis.

[2][4][13] Pottery is used by archaeologists to determine the chronology of events at Bylany as the differing of styles and techniques to decorate and create suggests the time period and culture that produced the artefact.

[12][14][15] Czech archaeologists in Prague have sort to make a digitised museum to present the site to a global audience.

[8] The Czech Republic is a Central European country, the site at Bylany was once the home to the oldest agricultural population of the Neolithic period in this section of Europe.

[4][7] Pottery varying in its decorative styling is the only artefact that can delineate the precise chronology of the Neolithic cultures at Bylany.

[12] Archaeologists use modern technology such as micro-tomography (uCT) as one way to determine the manufacturing technique used to create the pottery.

[18] The study suggests that the "presence of gel-forming hydrated organic polymers increases the clay's plasticity".

[15] None of the physical structures remain from the Neolithic period at Bylany, rather they have left imprints to the likes of pits, post holes, grooves and foundation trenches in the ground and archaeologist are able to decrypt their formal and spatial relationship.

[2][4][7] One common structure includes longhouses, referred to as European Neolithic longhouses, which were made of wooden timber framing and wattle daub walls and typically ranged in length between four and fifty meters, with early studies (1950s) and more recent (2013) studies placing the average between six and twenty meters.

[6][16] Past research suggested that longhouses were rather from the western section of central Europe, as this type of finding was rare in the Carpathian basin.

[6][16] Extensive excavations in the Balaton region and across Transdanubia have also revealed 45,050 LBK houses (arranged in regular rows).

[5] Issues arise with these methodologies as the thick layer of loess beneath the topsoil does not allow for clear visualisation of these features.

[5] Czech archaeologists from the Institute of Archaeology (Prague) argued that the Neolithic site at Bylany was virtually “invisible”, meaning it was indistinguishable from the modern landscape, to the public.

[7] They sort to modernise the typical “brick and mortar” museums, which “seek visitors only from within a limited target group”, and used modern technologies, optical 3D scanning, 3D Photogrammetry, and 3D Modelling, to create digital composites which formed a virtual gallery or virtual museum.

[7] Providing a further explanation that the "rapid advances of information technologies globally (high speed internet and computers etc.)

[7] After a preliminary image is created extra layers are added such as the roofing, string walls and interior and exterior equipment.

BC), which current evidence (cultivation and animal domestication) suggests began in southwest Asia in 9500 cal.

BC, changed the way we as human survived and diminished the necessity of hunting and gathering with the adoption of farming and animal keeping.

[4][3][7] Evidence found at Bylany (settlement agglomeration) and even Eythra (wooden water wells), Herxheim (rondels with human remains), and Těšetice (circle wall enclosures), have shifted the insight into the first European farmers.
