Using a newsreader and a group of keywords , it is possible to filter out news articles that may be of archaeological interest . However , the system is not foolproof For example , the word Celtic will also find articles relating to the football team of that name . It occurred to me that , if I was sorting through these articles for my own interest , I might as well make the results of my labours available to others , and so the Archaeology

  • Ancient Weapons Excavated in England

    Updated: 2010-04-08 11:56:38
    Staff at the University of Leicester Archaeological Services (ULAS) have been excited by the results from a recently excavated major Prehistoric site at Asfordby, near Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire. The Mesolithic site may date from as early as 9000BC, by which time hunter-gatherers had reoccupied the region after the last ice age. These hunters crossed the land bridge from the continental mainland -- 'Britain' was only to become an island several thousand years later........

  • Caistor skeleton mystifies archaeologists

    Updated: 2010-04-08 11:56:24
    A skeleton, found at one of the most important, but least understood, Roman sites in Britain is puzzling experts from The University of Nottingham. Dr Will Bowden from the Department of Archaeology, who is leading excavations at the buried town of Venta Icenorum at Caistor St Edmund in Norfolk, said the burial was highly unusual: "This is an abnormal burial. The body, which is probably male, was placed in a shallow pit on its side, as opposed to being laid out properly. This is not the care Romans normally accorded to their dead. It could be that the person was murdered or executed eventhough this is still a matter of speculation"........
