CT scans and restoration work on a block of soil found near Schaalby revealed that it contained five bronze vessels, rather than three as initially thought. The cauldron, bowls and strainers, dated to the 3rd–5th centuries AD, form a rare assemblage of finds in the Baltic region.

A cairn bordered by large stones was uncovered beneath the Viking ship burial at Grønhaug. According to researchers, the structure may be a Bronze Age burial monument; precise dating will show how much time passed before the site was reused.

A reexamination of known paintings in a cave near Chalcatzingo identified signs related to place names and warfare dating to the 4th–6th centuries AD. According to researchers, these suggest that ceremonies commemorating fallen warriors were held at this sacred site outside Teotihuacan.

Radiocarbon dates for 16 people from two large stone tombs in the Trafalgar necropolis showed that the tombs were used between approximately 1875 and 1625 BC. The findings reveal that collective burial traditions continued later than previously thought in parts of the Iberian Peninsula; according to the researchers, the tombs may also have been built during this period.

Researchers who reexamined the remains of 27 people from monastery cemeteries found that the radiocarbon dates of six did not match their burial contexts. According to the researchers, old carbon consumed through freshwater fish can make bones appear hundreds of years older, distorting chronologies of the past.

Analysis of clay fragments excavated at Çemka Höyük in Mardin showed that deliberately fired vessels, coatings and vessel attachments were produced about 11,000 years ago. According to researchers, the finds document a phase when different materials and techniques were being tried before pottery became widespread.

A lacquered chariot, jade objects, crystal ornaments and a glass vessel were found in a large Asian Hun tomb at the Duurlig Nars cemetery. According to researchers, some objects suggest connections with the Roman world and the Korean Peninsula; the glass vessel’s place of production has not yet been confirmed.

Excavations near the small theater identified a religious complex containing a fountain, a water reservoir and a portico, along with a pottery fragment bearing the name Asklepios. According to researchers, the findings identify the sanctuary within the city described by the traveler Pausanias about 1,800 years ago.
