If you have ever wondered where the first Estonians lived then the answer is Pulli. The Pulli settlement is the oldest known human settlement in Estonia, located on the right bank of the Pärnu River. According to carbon dating, Pulli was settled over 11,000 years ago and people would have arrived there from the south after the ice had melted.
Archaeologists have unearthed over 1175 items from area including tools made mainly from flint, used for hunting and fishing.
A dog tooth found at the Pulli settlement is the first evidence for the existence of the domesticated dog in Estonia. In October this year a new memorial sculpture was erected in Pulli to mark the significance of the finding. Dogs have long been man's best friends.
