Two detectorists have discovered a depot of luxury Anglo-Saxon jewellery from the 7th century in Lincolnshire, England. The set consists of four different gold pendants and a fragment of a richly decorated brooch with garnets. According to archaeologists, it is neither a commonly stored treasure nor standard grave goods - circumstances suggest a possible connection to a ritual "killing".

We are once again on the Russian front of the First World War. After the articles about Vladivostok and USAT Sherman I decided to write one more article to complete the story. As I have already mentioned, my grandfather, after arriving on the Eastern Front, survived the attack and massacre caused by the Don Cossacks and, seriously wounded, was taken to the village of Gornostayevka where he served for five long years on the farm of the Cossack Shimanovsky. Who were these fearsome warriors whose name inspired respect across Europe?

The exhibition The Myth of the Great Goddess will present to the public a unique set of so-called younger Venus from the Neolithic period, approximately 6,500 years old. These small female statuettes are among the most significant archaeological monuments of their period and are inherently linked to the cultures of the Early and Late Stone Age, which created one of the most remarkable phases of prehistory in Moravia and Central Europe.

Then he noticed human bones. He immediately stopped digging and contacted the archaeologists. On the spot, they discovered that it was a female grave unlike any other in Scandinavia.

A rare artefact has been discovered in the forest area of Starachowice, reliving the dramatic moments of the Polish defence in September 1939. Searchers with metal detectors from the "Grupa Ochrony Zabytków Fort" discovered a silver head of a regimental battalion in the shape of an eagle with a battalion belt and fragments of cloth. The objects had remained hidden for nearly 86 years; from the moment when members of the 12th Light Artillery Regiment hid them to prevent them from falling into enemy hands.

Vladivostok, once a remote Russian city at the end of the world, became in the spring of 1921 the last refuge of thousands of our soldiers captured during the First World War on the Russian front. The harbour was full of soldiers, military patrols, sailors and ship workers, and there was a constant maritime bustle that mingled with a colourful mix of nationalities.
