Being an Anglo-Saxon Expat in Medieval Rome Came With a Rare Papal Perk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
People in the United Kingdom love Italy. As of 2023, 16.8% of travelers flying out of London’s Heathrow Airport head to Rome Fiumicino Airport. This affinity isn’t new, however—in the medieval era, Rome had a thriving community of Anglo-Saxon expats. Archaeologists have discovered 20 medieval Anglo-Saxon coins beneath a garden close to the Vatican. The finding represents the first material evidence of the “Schola Saxonum,” or English quarter, and indicates that these visitors had special privile
This AI Can Estimate How Long You've Been Dead. How It Works Is the Weird Part (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Artificial intelligence can solve theoretical math problems, identify a mysterious enzyme system in viruses, potentially render humans extinct by the end of the decade, and, according to new research, estimate the length of time you’ve been dead. In a study published Monday in Nature Communications, researchers developed an AI system that uses microbes on cadavers to estimate their postmortem intervals (PMI), or time since death. The system, called mHolmes, was trained on public data from 34 hum
Could King Tut’s Tomb Be Hiding an Ancient Queen? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When archaeologist Howard Carter discovered the tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922, he found over six hundred artifacts buried alongside the ancient Egyptian ruler. But now it seems that both the pharaoh and his treasure may have been squatting in someone else’s burial. In 2015, Egyptologist Nicholas Reeves suggested that Tutankhamun’s tomb might be bigger than it appears to be. Specifically, that there are additional secret chambers hiding the tomb of Nefertiti, one of the most famous women from ancie
Scientists Say Lead in Ink Could Finally Crack Herculaneum's Burnt Scrolls—So They Baked a Fake One as a Test (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How do you test a theory on how to decipher a priceless archaeological artifact? According to a team of researchers, you pay children to make fake versions of it. A team of scientists has proposed a new approach to reading the famous Herculaneum scrolls: 2,000-year-old texts that are impossible to unroll because Mount Vesuvius burnt them to a crisp in 79 BCE. They suggest looking for lead in the ink. In a study published yesterday in the journal PLOS ONE, the team writes that even small amounts
Archaeologists Thought a Mass Grave of 79 Shackled Men Held Foreign Invaders. They Were Wrong (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In 2016, archaeologists in Athens uncovered an Ancient Greek mass grave full of men buried in a heartbreakingly vulnerable position: with their wrists shackled and raised over their heads. We now have a better sense of who they were. Researchers conducted isotopic analyses on 66 men from the so-called Esplanada grave, which dates back to the Archaic Period (~700 to 460 BCE), and discovered something surprising—most were from the surrounding region of Attica. In other words, they were locals, acc
