Archaeologists discover unique Paleolithic cave art - probably the most important in Europe

Over 100 prehistoric clay paintings and engravings have been discovered in the half-kilometre-long Cueva Dones cave near Valencia, Spain. They are at least 24,000 years old and are probably the most important Palaeolithic cave art of this type in Europe.

The Battle of the Bulge in the light of new knowledge thanks to modern technology

Archaeologists have explored part of the Second World War battlefield in the Ardennes with the help of a drone equipped with a high-resolution lidar device. Thanks to laser imagery, the site, now covered by dense vegetation, has revealed almost 1,000 previously unknown features and for the first time ever, experts were able to study the site comprehensively...

A thousand-year-old rare silver plate from the "sabretache" in the grave of a Hungarian warrior

Near the village of Csomád near Budapest, a cavalry grave was discovered with a rare silver plate from a sabre case. The artifact, dating from the mid-10th century, consists of a silver outer plate riveted to an inner bronze plate, and served as a prestige and rank adornment for a flint instrument pouch.

Eight-year-old boy finds Roman silver denarius in school sandpit

A boy was playing in a sandpit in Bremen when he accidentally discovered a 1,800-year-old Roman coin. Historically, only two other similar coins have been found in the area. So far north of the Roman Empire's borders, this is a relatively rare find.

Archaeologists find 1,300-year-old grave of Frankish warrior with "full field"

During an archaeological excavation of an early medieval cemetery in Ingelheim, Germany, an intact grave of a Merovingian warrior from the 7th century was discovered with complete armour. He was very lucky; although he lay between two looted graves, his rich equipment remained intact for 1300 years.

Detectorists in collaboration with archaeologists have discovered more medieval silver coins from an ancient hoard

A set of almost 1,000-year-old coins was found on the site of a former medieval fortress in the village of Wiślica in southern Poland. The discovery was made as part of an ongoing revitalisation programme, which includes archaeological work following 60 years of research. The experts worked with the local detectorist association; their work is highly regarded.

Ötzi the Ice Man - he looked different and came from somewhere else. A new study disproves previous ideas

Ötzi's well-preserved body from the Copper Age between 3350 and 3120 BC was discovered by hikers in the Alps near the Austrian-Italian border in 1991. In 2012, the first DNA analysis found genetic traits of steppe herders from Eastern Europe in the mummy's ancestors. But the latest high-quality genetic analysis of DNA sequencing refutes the previous results. Ötzi was much closer to early Anatolian farmers. The study also provides completely different information about Ötzi's appearance.

Study placement in Slovenia - research on the Roman city of Emona

The research takes place in the former northern part of the city, near the National Theatre inIgrisská Street, where the foundations of an insula, the equivalent of today's apartment buildings, are being uncovered. These buildings were not built to a high standard and their construction was prone to fires. Because of these dangers, apartments on the upper floors were cheap and in low demand, and thus more sought after by the lower to middle class.

A rare treasure trove of medieval hrivens - long bars of high quality silver - was found in Lithuania

A treasure trove of massive Lithuanian silver coins from the 13th to 14th centuries was discovered during the exploration of the defunct 19th-century Kriveikiskis estate near the village of Kernavė, about 30 km from Vilnius. There were a total of 4 long bars in the excavation, which must have represented quite a fortune in their time.

Bronze Age arrow 'speaks' 150 years after discovery: it came from outer space

It was discovered during research between 1873 and 1874, while the other arrowheads found at the site were bronze. It has a triangular blade with a short tang. It weighs 2.9 grams and has an overall length of 39.3 mm.
