Arkeologerna vill ta reda på hur livet såg ut när Kållandsö kristnades, och det verkar som om de har hittat rätt ställe att leta på. - Ja, här har vi hittat en kyrka som vi, utifrån fynden och datering av de ben vi hittat, tror anlades sent 1100- eller tidigt 1200-tal. Vi har i dagarna också hittat lämningar från ett äldre kyrkbygge som ligger under den första kyrkan vi grävde ut säger Annelie Nitenberg, som...

Det sker inför bygget av en fjärrvärmeledning mellan Eslöv och Lund. På leråkern norr om Lund, bodde närmre 15 000 personer i en månads tid. Efter slaget den 4 november 1676 drog sig danskarna tillbaka till lägerplatsen, men överfölls då av efterföljande svenskar. - Vi har valt att metalldetekterat hela området för att avsöka det på vapendetaljer. Sedan banar vi av, eftersom...

I veckan avslutades utgrävningarna av 1600-talsslaget vid Borst i Skåne. - Den här pistolkulan är antagligen mellan elva och tretton millimeter och den har ju också ljudtappen kvar som du ser och det är intressant för den är ju typisk för kavallerister, säger Bo Knarrström som är arkeolog vid Riksantikvarieämbetet.

En række hustomter og specielle brandgrave med brændte hundeknogler og knogler fra mennesker gav for få dage siden arkæolog Tom Giersing blod på tanden. To jordfæstegrave er den seneste uge blevet udgravet ved Ryget Skovby, hvor bygherren står og tripper for at sætte spaden i jorden, og i den ene fandt man resterne af et to gange fire met...

Translators in Switzerland are studying photos of the fragments, which were displayed briefly on Wednesday. There also are questions about what the writing on the fragments says. Art and antiquities dealer Bruce Ferrini, of Akron, says he bought the fragments in 1998 but hasn't given any details about the source...

The discovery of gold cartouches dating back to 1400 BC sheds new light on the relationship between two ancient Egyptian rulers, Egypt's antiquities department said Friday. A team of French and Egyptian archeologists have discovered two sets of nine solid gold cartouches bearing the name of Thotmusis III (who ruled from 1479-1425 BC) near the pharaoh's stepmother Queen Hatshepsut's temple in Luxor, 700...

Lao archaeologists believe the temple Vat Yotkeo dates back to the 1548-1571 rule of King Sai Setthathirat, the Vientiane Times said. Fittingly, the ruins have been found on what is now called Setthathirat road. The temple was destroyed by the Thais, who burned and pillaged Vientiane...

Miroslav Verner, long-term head of the Czech archaeological expedition in Egypt, told the Czech Archaeology Abroad conference that the royal buildings were probably situated at the border between the Nile valley and large burial grounds. Czech archaeologists have also uncovered a number of shaft graves in Abusir dating back to 530-525 B.C. One of the large tombs they...

Michael Bawaya takes a look. There's more than one way to sink a ship, as Donald Sanders knows. President of the Institute for the Visualization of History in Williamstown, Massachusetts, Sanders spends a lot of his time repeatedly sinking a vessel off the coast of Cyprus. The ship isn't real - it's a computer model of a vessel that...

The traces of that ancient civilization were found in the city of Luxor, where Egyptians prepared meals for workers of the Pharaoh tombs, and where remains of a school for workers' children, a butcher and vegetable stores. Expert Sabri Abdelaziz confirmed they served the workers bread, meat and vegetables. According to Culture Minister Faruq Hosni, the...

But for two history buffs with a passion for the tipple, northern Italy has the barbarians to thank for its long wine-making tradition. Luca Sormani, from Como, and Fulvio Pescarolo, from the tiny town of Robbio near Milan, have traced the region's wine culture all the way back to its Celtic roots and have started making it according to ancient methods. Celtic tribes from farther north...

The Temple Mount, or Haram al-Sharif, is Holy to Muslims and Jews. Known as the Western Wall Tunnel it runs under the old walled city and along the length of the western wall of what was once the Temple of Jerusalem. Built by Herod the Great in 20 BC, the Temple itself was destroyed by the Romans in the year 70. All that survived was the rock platform - the Temple Mountin...

Dr. Hugh Berryman, research professor, was one of only 11 experts from across the United States to scrutinize the bones of Kennewick Man, a 9,300-year-old skeleton found 10 years ago along the Columbia River at Kennewick, Wash. - It's one of the oldest skeleton...

The newly revealed carving at Barclodiad y Gawres, a chevron design pecked into the rock with a stone chisel, brings to six the number of decorated slabs with lozenges, cupmarks, concentric circles and spirals in a tomb already regarded as one of the most spectacularly...

Then last December, his department got a windfall: The Palestinian Authority offered a $6 million budget boost. Much of the new money was to be for preservation, but some was tagged for the excavation of a freshly uncovered Bronze Age site called Tell Etell, a few kilometers outside Ramallah--the first...
