Slavs lived in Morocco in Middle Ages, archaeologists find

Slavs lived in Morocco in Middle Ages, archaeologists find

25.11.2016 13:09

Polish scientists have found proof that Slavs lived in Morocco hundreds of years ago during an expedition to the country, public broadcaster TVP Info said on Thursday.

Archaeologists from Szczecin, in Poland's northwest, and Poznań in Poland's west, found ceramics, dated back to the middle-ages, in Morocco decorated similarly to ceramics from a similar period which were uncovered in Wolin, in Poland's northwest.

The archeologists say there is no doubt that Slavs used to be settled in the Rif mountain in Morocco.

Katarzyna Meissner of the Institute of Anthropology and Ethnology in Poznań, said research would be conducted to narrow down the location were a Slavonic village might have been located. (vb/rg)
