Inside Archaeology video: Review of significant archaeology discoveries in August 2026

#Archaeology

Writing truckloads of papers on colourful subjects in an accessible style in the top academic journals for Northern European #archaeology will not get you a job. Nor even any sign of interest from other scholars.

34 years into my career, the metal detector hobbyists and my tabletop gaming group have proved way more interested in whether I live or die than any Scandinavian university.

I'm proud of what I've achieved, and I don't care whether they all get defunded.

A child’s cracked skull. A cave used for centuries to make skull cups. A radiocarbon date that shouldn’t exist. Three Neolithic caves in Spain, one word, three completely different stories. #Archaeology #Neolithic #Cannibalism https://www.anthropology.net/p/neolithic-cannibalism-took-three

Cannibalism in Spain took different forms during the Neolithic, from violence to ritual

A new study of nearly 1,000 human bones from three Neolithic caves in southern Spain has found evidence of cannibalism at different times and under different social conditions. The research focused on Malalmuerzo, Carigüela and Majolicas caves in Granada, sites long known for human remains linked to cannibalism...

This is definitely a wow! A beautifully preserved folding chair was excavated from a Stone Age burial mound in Souther Jutland in 1891. Made around 1400 BCE, it had an otter skin seat, of which only fragments of it remained. But the wooden part made from ash had geometric designs carved in to it and inlaid with a black 'tar'. The grave showed the high status of the man, as he was buried with a number of 'wealthy' possessions. https://www.livescience.com/archaeology/guldhoj-folding-chair-the-only-completely-preserved-chair-from-bronze-age-europe

2,200-year-old Chinese tomb reveals ancient roots of a famous leaf-wrapped food tradition

Plant bundles found in a 2,200-year-old Chu tomb in China share the basic form of modern zongzi, but served a different purpose. Researchers studying plant remains from the Wuwangdun Tomb say the bundles offer the oldest known evidence for a tradition resembling zongzi, the leaf-wrapped food eaten during China’s Dragon Boat Festival...
