  11. Largest Viking hoard in Denmark found in back yard – The History Blog
    thehistoryblog.com/archives/76

    "The coins are of Arab and Anglo-Saxon origin, evidence of Viking Age Denmark’s connections to the Islamic world via trade and England via raids. Most of the contents are ingots, jewelry and hacksilver, with only a few dozen coins out of hundreds of objects ... The Islamic dirhams were cut into smaller pieces and used for the purity and weight of the silver.

  21. Sacred enclosure older than Stonehenge found in Czech Republic – The History Blog
    thehistoryblog.com/archives/76

    "The structure consists of a circular ditch about 750 feet in diameter and eight feet deep. Irregularly spaced along the ditch were 12 entrances leading to the center of the circle. The spacing of the entrances was not random; their locations made observations of significant moments in solar and lunar cycles possible."
