The archaeological site of Provadia-Solnitsata is a very large prehistoric complex near the modern town of Provadia in mortheastn Bulgaria. The complex was created and inhabited by the earliest salt producers in Europe during the 6th and 5th millennium BC. Throughout the late prehistory that population held a monopoly on the salt distribution over a vast region from the Carpathians to the Aegean and from the Black Sea to the Central Balkans. And because life is impossible without salt, salt producers have been very wealthy thanks to the long-distance trade. The specialized production of table salt causes significant social changes, including a clear hierarchization of society in the region of the Provadia River and the Varna Lakes, which is reflected in the "golden" Chalcolithic necropolis at Varna. It seems that in this region the complex prehistoric society arose and developed for the first time in Europe, and Provadia-Solnitsa emerged as the earliest prehistoric urban center of the old continent.
