Bay of Bones, Lake Ohrid, N. Macedonia

The Bay of Bones is a reconstruction of a prehistoric lake pile dwelling settlement on the archeological site of Plocha Mikov Grad at Lake Ohrid.  It was discovered by divers finding numerous preserved wooden piles of up to 5 metres in depth below the water. The site is thought to have been occupied during the late Bronze Age and well into the Iron Age with numerous ceramic pots and stone artifacts having been found around the site amongst a huge number of animal bones, hence the name given to it.
