  1. Exceptional private bath found in imperial palace tower – The History Blog
    thehistoryblog.com/archives/76

    "What makes this bath so unusual is its design: it is circular, like the tower itself, and was divided into two areas: an equipment room that contained all the heating mechanisms and a suite of rooms with three pools and a sudatorium (sauna or steam room)."

  2. Roman laws expose the hidden system behind Rome’s amphitheater animal hunts

    Roman amphitheaters hosted far more than gladiator fights. Animal hunts, known as venationes, drew large crowds across the empire. A new study from Carlos III University of Madrid examines the laws and state systems behind these shows. The research focuses on two imperial constitutions from Late Antiquity...

  5. Ancient Egyptian paint had surprising ingredients and was more complex than thought, study finds

    Ancient Egyptian artists used animal glues and plant-based materials in their paints, according to a new study of 14 artworks dating from 1425 BCE to 400 CE. The study, published in Science Advances, examined 28 tiny samples from painted objects held by three European museums

  11. A Staggering Excavation Has Rewritten The Fall of The Roman Empire

    Interamna Lirenas has turned out to be far more than a “backwater town” of the Roman Empire. According to a published study in Roman Urbanism in Italy, this central Italian town thrived well beyond previous belief, using its impressive urban features and forward-thinking design to stave off the effects of the empire’s collapse well into the 3rd century AD. “We started with a site so unpromising that no one had ever tried to excavate it,” Alessandro Launaro, the study’s author […]

  14. 4,000-year-old silkworm cocoons suggest silk farming reached Central Asia before the Silk Road

    Silkworm farming reached Central Asia about 4,000 years ago, almost 2,000 years earlier than historians long believed, according to a new study. The finding comes from three ancient silkworm cocoons uncovered at the Bronze Age site of Sapalli Tepe in present-day Uzbekistan.

  17. The First Pandemic? Scientists Find 214 Ancient Pathogens In Prehistoric DNA

    Shutterstock Scientists have uncovered DNA from 214 ancient pathogens in prehistoric humans, including the oldest known evidence of plague. The findings show zoonotic diseases began spreading around 6,500 years ago, likely triggered by farming and animal domestication. These ancient infections may still influence us today, and help guide the vaccines of tomorrow…….Continue reading…. By: University of Copenhagen – The Faculty of Health and Medical […]

  20. #archeology #MonteVerde

    "Monte Verde, one of the earliest Indigenous sites in South America, is much younger than thought, study claims. But others call it 'egregiously poor geological work.'

    A new analysis of archaeological layers at Monte Verde in Chile suggests that people lived there 4,200 years ago, not 14,500 years ago as originally proposed. But many experts point to errors in the methods.

    (. . .)

    Since the discovery of Monte Verde, archaeologists have identified many other sites that predate the Clovis migration by more than a thousand years, including Paisley Caves in Oregon, White Sands in New Mexico, the Friedkin and Gault sites in Texas, and Page-Ladson in Florida. But MV-II is still unusual because it is the only securely dated Late Pleistocene archaeological site in South America.

    In a study published Thursday (March 19) in the journal Science, an international group of researchers led by Todd Surovell, an archaeologist at the University of Wyoming, reevaluated the age and formation of MV-II. They concluded that Monte Verde was most likely occupied in the Middle Holocene, around 4,200 to 8,200 years ago.

    (. . .)

    But Tom Dillehay, an archaeologist at Vanderbilt University who has spent 50 years studying Monte Verde, disagrees with the researchers' conclusions.

    'There is no 11,000-year-old ash layer underneath the Monte Verde II site,' Dillehay told Live Science in an email. 'They are studying a different context in the area and are projecting that into the site from elsewhere.'"
