    Scientists Analyzed 90+ Objects from 33 Greek Sites and Found Rings Made of Metal That Doesn't Come from Earth (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A third of the iron jewelry examined in Greek and Cretan tombs was forged from metal that fell from space. This iron probably didn’t come from Greece, which only adds to its symbolic weight. Thirty-three Greek archaeological sites, more than ninety objects analyzed, but it’s the scale of the work was the first things to strike the study team. Around 3,000 years ago, members of the Greek elite were wearing rings made with a metal that had dropped out of the sky. The results were published in Augu

    A Routine Dig in Bohemia Exposed a 27,000-Year-Old Mammoth Hunt, and the Courthouse Will Be Built Right on Top of It (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    At a building site in northern Bohemia, archaeologists have unearthed the remains of at least twenty woolly mammoths. Cut marks, stone tools and the age of the animals sketch the scene of a vast Gravettian hunt, far more than a mere heap of bones.

    Read excerpt

    A team of researchers has returned to a shallow cliffside cave in Chalcatzingo, Mexico, and used digital enhancement to recover details from three faded red glyphs.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    A fossil discovered inside a garden retaining wall in Australia has revealed a previously unknown Triassic amphibian that lived around 240 million years ago. The almost complete skeleton of Arenaerpeton supinatus, including rare traces of preserved skin, reveals a large freshwater predator measuring about 1.2 meters long. The discovery traces back to the 1990s, when a retired chicken farmer collected rocks from a nearby quarry to build a retaining wall. One of those stones contained the fossil,

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Divers sent to clear underwater obstructions ahead of a gas pipeline project in northern Germany’s Bay of Greifswald stumbled onto something nobody expected. They found a scattered remains of a ship built roughly four centuries ago. Shoe soles, pulley blocks, and a corroded anchor were the first clues that this was no ordinary cluster of debris. What followed was a hurried excavation race, one that offered archaeologists a rare, if fragmentary, window into 17th-century Baltic seafaring. The Bay
