Abstract

This chapter introduces a prehistoric wooden wheel with an axle discovered in 2002 at the pile-dwelling settlement Stare gmajne at the Ljubljansko barje. Analyses indicate that it was a technologically advanced product, manufactured by a prehistoric wheelwright. Considering its radiocarbon dating and the age of the settlement, where it was found, the wheel is c. 5150 years old.
