What an odd looking site. I hope more work is done sooner rather than later on this. I'd love to know more about it.

This is interesting. The fact that the site hasn't changed in 10,000 years is fascinating, I think. Just a continuous line of people doing the same thing for literally millennia.

This is an idea that has been kicking around Egyptology for quite a while.

Interesting article on the appearance of women in Egyptian art, specifically on stelae.

This is interesting. And for me, unexpected.

It's absolutely appalling that this wasn't taken seriously from the beginning. Very glad the then-director resigned, but still...

This is absolutely incredible to me - Must Farm, a Neolithic village that was destroyed by fire and so was preserved (think British Pompeii) has beads which came from Iran. Ancient trade is gobsmacking.

This is pretty gruesome, but I've always been fascinated by ancient hand-to-hand combat and how incredibly brutal it was. And the mass graves were HUGE.

The link in this story to CBS news has a nice video of the site, which is a house in the process of construction which was recently discovered in Pompeii. Fascinating look at the construction methods.

Incredible find, except the boats weren't found IN the Mediterranean but in a lake near a Neolithic village in Italy. FYI.

Interesting find. I know 'why' questions generally can't be answered, but why?

Must Farm is an amazing site. I'd love to do a road trip to visit this and then up to Vindolanda.

I think one of the most interesting things about this is that the formula for making lipstick doesn't seem to be all that different from lipsticks today.

I realise that this is a blog, but the article it's taken from is in French, so I'm posting this. A link to the article is in the blog post.
