Detective finds gold ring; could belong to Sheriff of Nottingham

Andy Taylor of Lincoln found the 460-year-old ring three years ago during a club event in a field at Rushcliff, about 40 miles from Sherwood Forest. In the 16th century, rings like this were a popular symbol, used to convey secret messages and declarations of love between the giver and the recipient. Given the circumstances of the find, some experts believe it may have been part of the hoard of the Sheriff of Nottingham or a member of his family.

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.

The most beautiful find of August 2023 - qualification

The July winner was quite clear and my tip that there would be at least 3 equal opponents proved to be wrong. 🙂 In August, since the "tin cavalry" is done, there are even more beautiful finds and choosing the TOP 5 is basically a superhuman task. So I hope you all will somehow manage it.

Small pits, big ideas: they opened their backyards to archaeologists, became full members of a big research

The result was nearly 20,000 artefacts found, 400 people involved, 96 yards explored, lots of answers, even more questions and ultimately a national competition win.

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.

The child sacrifice site hid thousands of burial urns and very rare gold coins

Archaeological excavations of a cemetery and temple at the site of a sacrificial site in Carthage, Tunisia, have unearthed 2,300-year-old gold sacrificial coins and burial urns containing the remains of infants and animals, some even together in one vessel.

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.
