The Valma settlement site was a Neolithic-era village located at the southern edge of Valma village in Viljandi Parish, Viljandi County, on the shore of Lake Võrtsjärv. The site dates back to the 3rd millennium BC, and its most significant archaeological find is a grave with the remains of a man and a woman. Among the discoveries from the site is a 7 cm long figurine of a swimming beaver, intricately carved from antler. This artifact is considered one of the finest examples of prehistoric Estonian art and was likely a pendant, as it has a suspension hole near its tail.
