An unusual cemetery of the Priory culture and a warrior's grave with a perfectly preserved Roman situla in Poland

Archaeologists have uncovered a richly furnished Iron Age war grave in a cemetery in Kazimierz Wielka, Poland.

The world's biggest detector event - lots of unique finds and a treasure trove of gold coins

In a field near Elsted in the spring, an archaeology student discovered a hoard of seven silver Viking bracelets.

Pot of 2,500-year-old gold coins discovered in Turkey

In the ancient city-state of Notion in Turkey, a wine vessel filled with gold coins of the "daric" type was discovered. They date from the 5th century BC and were probably minted in Sardis, about 100 km from the site of the discovery. This is the first ever hoard of gold coins in Asia Minor discovered in an archaeological context. It changes the view of the chronology of Persian coins.

Mystery of anonymous Bronze Age axes solved

As we reported in a previous article, two Bronze Age axes were sent anonymously to the National Museum of Ireland last month. As it is illegal to search for archaeological artefacts with a metal detector in Ireland, the sender was concerned about criminalisation. After being challenged by the archaeologists and assured that he was not facing any penalties, he eventually turned himself in and brought the archaeologists to the "crime" scene.
