World's oldest building discovered

Japanese archaeologists have uncovered the remains of what is believed to be
the world's oldest artificial structure, on a hillside at Chichibu, north of
Tokyo.

The shelter would have been built by an ancient ancestor of humans, Homo
erectus, who is known to have used stone tools. The site has been dated to
half a million years ago, according to a report in New Scientist.

It consists of what appear to be 10 post holes, forming two irregular
pentagons which may be the remains of two huts. Thirty stone tools were also
found scattered around the site.
