Oldest fortresses in the world discovered

Attaching the word ‘fort’ to it has many implications. It could be just as, if not more, accurate to call it ‘the earliest known pantry’. Significantly pre-agricultural.

The prehistoric inhabitants caught fish from the Amnya River and hunted elk and reindeer using bone and stone-tipped spears. To preserve their surplus of fish oil and meat, they crafted elaborately decorated pottery.

Of course, such a pantry would require defense.
