SULAIMANI, Kurdistan Region - A team of archeologists from Japan has begun digging at a site in the Charmo village, discovering a heritage location - a house containing multiple items including animal skeletons.  

The team discovered a house that contains pots, furnaces, needles, pieces of animal teeth and bone, and other items of daily use.

Charmo is an ancient agricultural village that sits east of Chamchamal town.

The village is considered one of the oldest agricultural villages in history, dating back to about 7000 BC.

Ever since 2004, more research has been done on it and the village has become one of the oldest in the world where life and remains of agricultural work have been discovered.

In Sulaimani there are more than 600 archeological areas. Dozens of German, French, British, and other Western and Japanese teams have in the past searched for new finds.
