More than 40 ancient ovens found inside a medieval castle in Armenia

More than 40 vertical ovens have been found inside a medieval castle at Aruch in central Armenia.

A 4,000 year old Bronze Age buiral mound has been vandalised for a second time. The mound which is a scheduled monument is important to the local area of Somerset. Previously damaged and repaired, this time stones have been removed and so is no longer a mound. It is actually an offence to damage such sites as this, which is one of 50 of this type. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c98r6m11n3zko

Metal detector Idris Thomas has found a gold bracelet which is believed to be about £3000 years old. An estimate of its value, due to the high gold content, has placed it at £15,000 to £20,000.

Book Review: Artifacts Natalie Lemle

Author: Natalie Lemle
Title: Artifacts
Narrator: Amanda Dolan
Publication Info: Simon & Schuster Audio, 2026
Summary/Review:

Attorney Lena Connolly gets involved in a case in which the Italian government is demanding the repatriation of a rare glass cup from Ancient Rome. Twenty years earlier as a student, Lena participated in an archaeological field school in the Italian Alps.  The case brings her into contact with people from that dig for the first time in years including her ex Giamma.  It also stirs up memories of her mentor going missing, her estrangement from her family, and the likelihood of Italian organized crime in trafficking arts and artifacts to museums.  The novel alternates between the mysteries of the present day case and flashbacks to Lena’s summer in Italy.  There are a whole lot of subplots and coincidences that clutter that narrative.  I ultimately found my mind wandering too much as I strained to maintain interest, but your mileage may vary.

Rating: **
