10th-Jun-2008 09:41 pm - Nez Perce tribe contacted after human skull found

This is about 20-25 minutes from me:

ASOTIN, Wash. (AP) -- A partial human skull and bone fragments found near a site known for its American Indian petroglyphs, pictographs and ancient graves may be the remains of a Nez Perce ancestor.

i thought that this was interesting. both because of the story itself, and because of the way that this discovery is being handled is such a contrast to the discovery beneath the main square of Ecija, Spain, recently posted by [info]malkin767.

Treasure dig threatens Bosphorus rail link
By Sarah Rainsford, BBC News, Istanbul

It's been called the project of the century: a mission to connect two continents with a $2.6 billion rail-tunnel running deep beneath the Bosphorus Straits.

The idea of linking the two sides of Istanbul underwater was first dreamt of by Sultan Abdul Mecit 150 years ago.

Now that Ottoman dream is finally being realised.

But the modern version of that vision has hit a historical stumbling block.

Istanbul archaeologists have uncovered a 4th century port at the site where engineers plan to build a 21st century railway hub. The Marmaray project cannot even begin work in the area until excavations are complete.

Storm reveals long-lost wall at Fortress Louisbourg

Archeologists at the Fortress of Louisbourg are scrambling after a recent storm surge washed away parts of the coastline, revealing a 250-year-old defence wall long thought destroyed.

Rebecca Duggan says the storm exposed 50 metres of the 18th-century French fortress on the eastern tip of Cape Breton Island.

Recently when I channel surfed I saw a little bit of a very interesting documentary. Sadly since I was in a great hurry to meet someone I couldn't stay at home and watch it. I don't remember even in what channel it was showed at (In Russian)and can't look the film up.

( Shamanic saint princess in Russia? )

Edit 2: Ah haaaa I found it. The woman was a Ukok Princess. Very interesting. Here are some links.

10th-Nov-2005 01:05 pm - Prehistoric skull found in dump may be missing ancestor

Dale Fuchs in Madrid, Monday November 7, 2005, The Guardian

Palaeontologists excavating a dump outside Barcelona have found a skull dating back 14m years that could belong to a common ancestor of apes and humans.

The nearly intact skull, which has a flat face, jaw and teeth, may belong to a previously unknown species of great ape, said Salvador Moya, the chief palaeontologist on the dig. "We could find a cradle of humanity in the Mediterranean," he said.

A routine land survey for a planned expansion of the Can Mata dump in Els Hostalets de Pierola turned up the first surprise in 2002: a primate's tooth.

12th-Oct-2005 05:57 pm - Hole in the wall yields treasure
Beer

Jon Henley in Paris

Sometimes DIY pays: drilling a hole in the wall of his home in south-west France, a builder stumbled across a hoard of rare gold and silver coins hidden there more than 500 years ago.

"I was making a hole for a new window when they just started to fall down around my head," the man, who has not been identified, told local papers yesterday. "They were a bit dull, so I didn't immediately realise what I'd found. Then I saw some at least were gold."

Experts who have examined the treasure, whose discovery in May 2004 was kept secret, said it contained 1,010 coins: 157 in gold, 300 in silver and the remainder in billon, a silver and copper alloy popular in the middle ages.

"It's a spectacular find," said Robert Juge, an auctioneer, who is putting the hoard under the hammer in Angouleme at the end of the month, where it should fetch more than €500,000 (£344,000).

The coins were minted in Spain, Portugal, Italy, England, the Netherlands and various French duchies. The most recent was struck in 1483, while the oldest is a King Jean II franc, the first franc minted, from 1360. The rarest is a castellano from the time of Henry IV of Castille, of which only one other example is known to exist. Bazas, where the coins were found, was a regional centre in the middle ages.
