The earliest known evidence of a habitational structure is that of 21 huts with hearths or pebble-lined pits and delimited by stake-holes found in October 1965 at the Terra Amata site in Nice, France and thought to belong to the Acheulian culture of c. 400,000 years ago. Excavation in 1966 revealed one hut with palisaded walls with axes of 15 m (49 ft) and 6 m (20 ft). Information taken from Archives (e.g. 1995).
