Now we know they built large structures and attached to a particular place . " Taylor adds , " The ancient lake is an important archaeological landscape . For the inexperienced eye , the area looks ordinary saja.Namun , using special techniques I could reconstruct the landscape .These properties allow the peat landscape heritage conservation including paddle boats , an arrowhead and ends red deer skull used as a mask .
