Archaeologists have uncovered a Hellenistic-era cult structure and additional sections of a Bronze Age pile dwelling in the Pertosa-Auletta Caves of southern Italy. Located in the Salerno province, this karst cave system—also known as the Grotte dell’Angelo—is about 2,500 meters long and includes Italy’s only navigable underground river. Human occupation of the caves dates back […]| Archaeology News Online Magazine
A new article published in Archaeometry has uncovered the first direct evidence of deliberate arsenical bronze production in ancient Egypt, demonstrating that Middle Kingdom metalworkers were much more technologically advanced than previously believed.

Airborne laser scanning over the Karst Plateau, on the border between Slovenia and Italy, has revealed a network of prehistoric stone constructions unparalleled in Europe.

In the 1990s, an aerial photograph captured a circular feature in the fields near the village of Pömmelte, Germany, sparking the beginning of an extraordinary archaeological endeavour. The feature proved to be the remains of a henge monument built around 2350 BC. Although its uprights were fashioned from timber rather than rock, the monument displayed a number of tantalising similarities to Stonehenge in Britain. One area of overlap is that both sites lay within much wider ritual landscapes....| World Archaeology
