Excavations

Archaeological digs on Peru’s central coast indicated that the Caral civilization, once thought to have vanished after an extreme drought, reorganized along the Pacific shoreline.

Assoc. Prof. Savaş Sarıalioğlu said no burned debris, charcoal, or domestic waste was found under the collapsed slab, and the pottery matched the structure’s construction phase.

The site's layout follows the solar movement and “is comparable to, or even greater than, those of later Mesoamerican cities.”

Discoveries near Tel Megiddo offer insight into ancient Canaanite life and urbanization. Finds include a 5,000-year-old winepress and ritual offerings positioned in sight of the city's main temple.

Israel Antiquities Authority archaeologists found first clear proof of early winemaking and folk worship outside the city, with offerings buried beside a rock altar along a 1.2 km excavation.

Darko Komšo: "the second century masterpiece will be laser cleaned and then join the permanent display of the Archaeological Museum of Istria".

Prof. Erek: "The differentiation of this tool industry and use of varied materials point to the period's industrial development."

Excavation by Moesgaard Museum during installation of new waste containers will use carbon dating and DNA tests to explore early Christianity in the city.

Research in Antiquity identifies the three wrecks as Israel’s earliest submerged cargoes, proving coastal trade survived long after the late bronze age collapse.

Experts suggest these finds may be 'communion bread' used in early Christian rituals, revealing both ritual customs and the symbolic integration of spirituality into everyday life.

"In just a few weeks of work, we identified the existence, locations, and densities of not only large monumental buildings and public structures but also residences," said the excavation director.
