One of its most interesting artifacts is the world's oldest wooden wheel with the axle (3350 to 3100 BC). It was excavated from the remains of the pile-dwelling settlement in the Ljubljana marshes and has a radius of 70 centimeters. It is technologically advanced, made of two ashen panels of the same tree. The axle is 120 centimeters long and made of oak. Most probably the findings belonged to a single-axle cart.
