Huge Roman mosaic found while planting cherry saplings
By: SGK ADVERTISING ADDA on September 29, 2024 / comment : 0
A man planting cherry saplings on his field in Salkaya village near Elazig, eastern Anatolia, found a huge ancient floor mosaic depicting a dazzling array of local animals and plant life. It dates to the late Roman Imperial period or the early Byzantine period.
Mehmet Emin Sualp spotted glimpses of patterns through the planting holes and reported it to the Elazığ Museum Directorate and the gendarmerie. The museum and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism excavated the field and uncovered a single-piece floor mosaic 904 square feet in area. It depicts a whole bestiary of animals, including lions, mountain goats, ducks, greyhounds, deer, pheasants, wild boars, bears, geese and Anatolian leopards. There are also tree and plant species mixed in with the animals. Geometric patterns — triangles, lozenges, kites, concentric square boxes — border the mosaic extending all the way to the walls.
Elazig Governor Numan Hatipoglu described it as one of the largest mosaic pieces discovered in the region, showcasing a vibrant representation of local wildlife and flora. […]
“This is an incredible find for our region,” stated Governor Hatipoglu. “The vibrant representation of local fauna, including bears, wild boars, and various deer species, vividly reflects the area’s biodiversity during the Roman and Byzantine periods.” He emphasized the significance of this discovery and indicated that further excavations could reveal even more historical artifacts, potentially leading to a strategic development for exhibitions in the future.

50 well-preserved Viking graves found in Åsum, Denmark
By: SGK ADVERTISING ADDA on September 28, 2024 / comment : 0
A Viking burial ground with 50 well-preserved inhumation graves and five cremation graves has been unearthed in Åsum, an village just east of Odense, Denmark. It is one of the largest Viking-era burial grounds ever found on the island of Funen. Preliminary estimates based on the artifacts found in the burials date the graves to between 850 and 970 A.D.
The burial ground was discovered during an archaeological survey before renovations to the electrical grid. A metal detector scan of the field had found numerous objects, but the discovery of a Viking burial ground was completely unexpected, let alone one so large and well-preserved.
The skeletal remains are in unusually good condition, with complete articulated skeletons and surviving textile and wood fragments, because of the high groundwater level of the field. The low oxygen levels of the waterlogged environment slows down the decomposition process. It’s rare to find organic materials so well-preserved west of the Great Belt (the strait that separates the island of Zealand from Funen). The remains in the two other Viking burial sites on Funen that are of comparable size are in far worse shape.
Several of the burials belonged to high-status individuals, most notably a woman buried in the cart part of the wagon as a coffin. This practice took place only in the middle of the 9th century, and was very rare The wood is gone, but it left an imprint behind on the soil and the rivets and nails that held the cart together are still in place.
[Museum Odense archaeologist] Michael Borre Lundø says:
“The woman was buried in the wagon she likely traveled in. We must imagine that she was buried with her finest clothes and belongings. She was given a beautiful glass bead necklace, an iron key, a knife with a silver-threaded handle, and, most notably, a small shard of glass that may have served as an amulet. At the foot of the wagon, there was a finely decorated wooden chest, the contents of which we still do not know.”
One of the other high-status graves contains the remains of an adult woman wearing a very fine iron neck ring. This was not locally made. It is of a type that was manufactured in Gotland. She also had a large bronze buckle shaped like an animal head placed on her chest that was also from Gotland. More than a thousand of these types of brooches have been found there, but only 50 (51 now) of them have been discovered south of Gotland, and this is the only one ever found on Funen. Its rarity suggests she was an important person in the community, and because the buckle was part of the national costume, she most likely came from Gotland, or was related/married to someone who did.
Another contained a trefoil brooch, a red glass bead on a cord around the deceased’s neck, an iron knife and a nugget of rock crystal.
Michael Borre Lundø says:
“Rock crystal does not occur naturally in Denmark and was likely imported from Norway. Several items from the many graves in Åsum indicate that the buried Vikings were connected to international trade networks that developed during the Viking Age.”
The imported grave goods and the presence of several graves of high-status individuals are evidence that Åsum was an important trade hub when the future Odense was still the small settlement of Odins Vi a couple of miles to the west. The River Odense, Funen’s longest river, ran through Åsum. Nonnebakken, a massive ringfort built by King Harald Bluetooth to control access to the river, was constructed around 980, in the last years the burial ground was in use.
The skeletal remains will be sent to the Panum Institute at the University of Copenhagen for osteological examination and further studies. The bones are in such a good state of preservation that scientists believe they will be able to successfully extract ancient DNA on the majority of the skeletons. If the DNA extraction goes as well as expected, this will be the first time DNA analysis can be performed on almost all of a single burial ground. Researchers will determine if any of the deceased were related to each other, if they originated from or have genetic links to other areas of Europe.

Wolf teeth found in ancient Venetii cremation burial
By: SGK ADVERTISING ADDA on September 25, 2024 / comment : 0
Four wolf teeth have been found in a pre-Roman cremation burial of the Venetii people in Padova, northern Italy. The deceased was almost certainly female, based on the traditionally female grave goods (a needle, a short knife used to work textiles rather than for hunting or combat, an awl), and the four canine teeth had been drilled, likely for use as pendants. Archaeologists believe the wolf teeth may have had symbolic meaning beyond just adornment and were worn as amulets.
The eastern necropolis was discovered in 1990 before a new student residence of the University of Padua was built at the location. The site was enormous, more than an acre in area, and archaeologists had to cover a lot of ground in a very short time. More than 320 tombs, most of them cremation burials, from the 9th century B.C. to the 3rd century A.D. were found in the necropolis, including the earliest graves of the Venetian people who founded what would become the city of Padua.
The importance of the site would not stop the construction (today it’s a residence and a subterranean parking garage), so in 1991 archaeologists had to pack up hundreds of burials up to 3,000 years old to rescue them from the bulldozer. The Venetii buried their dead in family groups, so burials were tightly packed and overlapping. They were removed in enormous soil blocks (much larger than the usually en bloc excavation), encased in wooden boxes, some reinforced with cement, and transported to a warehouse of the Archaeological Superintendency for the region of Veneto.
The first of the enormous “loaves of earth,” as they are called, were excavated in 1999. After a gap, excavations resumed in 2007 and 2009, but after that there was an even longer hiatus. until 2017. Since then, the necropolis boxes have been excavated on an annual basis, spearheaded by archaeologists from the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
So far the archaeologists have found two types of cremation context: a wooden box of which the imprints of the corners are all that remains, and a dolium, a massive earthenware pot used in antiquity as storage vessels. The dolia contain the cremated remains of the deceased and grave goods (ornaments of bronze, iron, bone and amber, ceramic pots, bowls, cups, glasses), many of them very rich.
Because decades have passed since they were originally removed, the silty clay of the soil blocks has become so compact and hard it is almost impermeable to water. It must therefore be excavated dry with only small jets of water directed to the soil alone, avoiding any contact with the ceramics. The ceramics are highly fragmented, and the dry scraping required to excavate the boxes often causes micro-cracks to expand. To ensure the finds stay in place for the meticulously documentation process, very thin Japanese paper is adhered to the fractured points with acrylic resin.
Today, Wednesday, September 25th, the excavation laboratory opens to the public for a one-time-only event to share the extraordinary excavation process and the discoveries with the general public.
You can see the wolf teeth emerge from the giant soil block in this Italian language video at 2:00 and 6:10. You can see the small knife and awl with one of the excavated wolf teeth at 7:35.

Gladiator sarcophagus found in ancient Ephesus
By: SGK ADVERTISING ADDA on September 24, 2024 / comment : 0
Archaeologists excavating the site of ancient Ephesus in modern-day Selçuk, western Turkey, have unearthed a 3rd century A.D. sarcophagus that originally belonged to a gladiator. His remains were not found, because in the 5th century the sarcophagus was reused to bury 12 bodies.
An inscription on the outside of the sarcophagus identifies the original occupant as a gladiator named Euphrates. When it was recycled two centuries after his death, three crosses were carved inside the sarcophagus. More crosses were carved into the lid later, perhaps in the 7th and 8th centuries.
[Excavation leader Sinan] Mimaroglu expressed astonishment at finding a water channel, a drainage system, mosaics, and several tombs just 20 centimeters below the surface.
“We found one tomb and three tomb-like structures, with 12 individuals inside. This indicates a collective burial,” he stated. He emphasized the importance of this Roman tomb, which has exquisite epigraphic inscriptions and Christian symbols added during its later use.
Mimaroglu provided information about the church associated with the tomb. Initially a small burial structure, it was later converted into a wooden-roofed basilica and eventually into a domed church during the reign of Emperor Justinian I.
He noted, “The burials inside the church likely belong to the upper class or clergy, as it’s unlikely an ordinary person would be buried in such a meticulous manner within a church.”
Archaeologists have not yet found any directly comparable examples of tombs like this one elsewhere. Tombs with similar cross reliefs but made of lower quality materials have been found in Istanbul. Tombs made of comparable materials have been found on Marmara Island and in Syria, but in those cases the design of the crosses is different.
The Ayasuluk Hill and 6th century basilica of St. John area was first excavated in the 1921-2 and evidence going as far back as the 2nd millennium B.C. has been unearthed since then. The early Bronze Age settlement on Ayasuluk Hill is thought to have been Apasa, the capital of the independent kingdom of Arzaw, and a burial ground from the Mycenaean era (1500–1400 B.C.) was discovered near the church. The ancient Greek city of Ephesus was found on Ayasuluk Hill in the 10th century B.C.
The current excavation was spurred by a 2023 georadar study of the area that confirmed the location of imperial and early Byzantine remains. In addition to the gladiator’s tomb, archaeologists found a marble floor dating to the 6th century, the period when Byzantine Emperor Justinian I built the basilica of St. John on the site where John the Apostle was supposed to have been buried. They also found a marble floor from the 5th century.

17th c. gallows yields bone pits, revenant and suicide burials
By: SGK ADVERTISING ADDA on September 22, 2024 / comment : 0
An excavation of a 17th century gallows near Quedlinburg, central Germany, has uncovered 16 individual graves, including a revenant burial and a rare coffin inhumation, and two bone pits containing mixed limbs and bones collected from previous burials.
From historical sources we know there was a gallows at the site from 1662 that was used for executions until 1809. The executed were often buried at the gallows hill because nobody wanted to bother hefting the criminal dead somewhere else for burial. Archaeologist with the State Office for Monument Preservation and Archaeology (LDA) Saxony-Anhalt have been excavating the site for three seasons to learn more about penal and funerary practices for condemned individuals in the early modern period.
Some of the bones show evidence of sharp force trauma, probably inflicted during torture before the execution. All but one of the individual burials were interred directly into the ground, their positions indicating their hands were still bound when they unceremonious dumped into holes in the ground.
One of them was a man with large stones placed on his chest. This was likely a revenant burial; his body was pressed with heavy weights to keep him from rising from the grave to plague the living. People who died suddenly or violently, were considered dangerous because they died without absolution, and someone who had been hanged from the neck until dead for his crimes would surely have had been a threatening figure in death as in life, and with some very big scores to settle. There is no evidence on his bones of how he died, however. Hanging doesn’t leave any visible marks.
The only burial to not receive the dumped-into-a-hole treatment was someone buried in a wooden coffin, a rare find at execution sites. The deceased was on their back with their hands folded over their stomach. Three amber beads found in the grave indicate they were buried with a rosary. The care taken with this burial suggests it may have been someone who took their own life rather than someone condemned to the gallows. Suicides were denied burial in consecrated ground.
The two bone pits, first discovered in 2023, are being investigated further this season. Body parts from people tortured — perhaps broken on the wheel or quartered — were thrown into the charnel pit still wrapped in bandages, as well as disarticulated bones collected by executioners and their assistants in regular cleanups of the gallows hill. The bones were stacked in several layers, on top of each other and next to each other. Fragments of clothing, buttons, buckles, and ceramics were also in the bone pits.

Dig uncovers 200-year-old message in a bottle from archaeologist
By: SGK ADVERTISING ADDA on September 21, 2024 / comment : 0
In almost poetic moment of communication through time, an archaeological team in Normandy has unearthed a message in a bottle left by the archaeologist who excavated the site in 19th century.
Volunteers led by municipal archaeologist Guillaume Blondel were excavating the Camp de César site near the Puys beach in Dieppe in an emergency rescue dig due to cliff erosion threatening the site. They had unearthed mostly fragments of Gallic pottery. Then, on September 16th, one of the volunteers, a history student named Pierre, uncovered a circular rim from a pot with an oval piece rising up from the center. Blondel examined it and determined it was not Gallic ceramic, and after confirming that it wasn’t unexploded ordnance from World War II, the team fully excavated the piece.
It turned out to be a pot covered with a small glazed cup that contained a clear glass object sticking up out of it. Blondel identified the pot from its type and a 19th century object, and the clear glass piece was a small, flat glass vial of the type that used to hold smelling salts. Women would wear these vials around their necks to keep handy in case they fainted from the pressure of their tightly-tied corsets. Inside the vial was a rolled up piece of paper.
The next evening, Blondel carefully removed and unrolled the paper while the entire team of volunteers watched as breathlessly as the ladies who once wore those vials. On the long, thin rectangle of paper was a message written in exquisitely tidy penmanship:
“P. J. Féret natif de Dieppe, membre de plusieurs sociétés sçavantes a fouillé ici en janvier 1825. Il continue ses recherches dans toute cette vaste enceinte appelée Cité de Limes ou Camp de César.”
[P.J Féret, a native of Dieppe, member of various intellectual societies, carried out excavations here in January 1825. He continues his investigations in this vast area known as the Cité de Limes or Caesar’s Camp.]
When Féret began his excavation, the site was reputed to have had a Carolingian settlement. He was the first to investigate the area and find evidence of a far older Gallic presence, and no Carolingian remains.
“It was an absolutely magic moment,” said Mr Blondel. “We knew there had been excavations here in the past, but to find this message from 200 years ago… it was a total surprise.
“Sometimes you see these time capsules left behind by carpenters when they build houses. But it’s very rare in archaeology. Most archaeologists prefer to think that there won’t be anyone coming after them because they’ve done all the work!”

Fossils reveal oldest tombstone in the US came from Belgium
By: SGK ADVERTISING ADDA on September 20, 2024 / comment : 0
A new study has found that the oldest known tombstone in the United States originated in Belgium, and it was tiny amoeba fossils in the stone that showed researchers the way. The black limestone slab marked the grave of a knight who died in 1627 in Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent English settlement in America.
The heavy slab of carved black limestone was originally placed in the floor of the second church in Jamestown (built in 1617). It was moved in the 1640s to the southern entrance area during a reconstruction of the church that destroyed its original location. It was rediscovered in 1901 and relocated to a new church built in 1906.
The tombstone has depressions where its original brass inlays used to be. Historians think the brasses may have been removed or destroyed when the church was burned during Bacon’s Rebellion in 1676. The shapes of the depressions make it clear what the brass inlays were: a shield (probably the family crest) in the upper right, a scroll across from that and in the center a man with sword and shield standing on a rectangular pedestal that was likely engraved with the funerary inscription. That armed figure is what marked the deceased as a knight.
Historians found only two knights who died in Jamestown in the 1600s, which narrowed down the identity of the tomb’s occupant to either Sir Thomas West (d. 1618), the colony’s first resident governor, or his successor as governor, Sir George Yeardley (d. 1627). There are no references in historical records to indicate the former might be the deceased. There is a strong indicator that the latter is. Sir George’s step-grandson, Adam Thorowgood II, requested in his will in the 1680s that he be given a black “marble” tombstone engraved with the crest of Sir George Yeardley and containing the same inscription found on “the broken tomb,” indicating the tombstone was already damaged in the 17th century.
Fine-grained and capable of being polished to a high gloss, black limestone was the preferred material for the tombstones of the wealthy colonists of Chesapeake Bay in the 17th century. It is often called “marble” because of its polish and fine, homogeneous composition, but in this case, its not being marble was the key to identifying its provenance. The research term used fossils trapped in the limestone to trace its origin, and microfossils are usually destroyed by the heat and pressure that create marble whereas they are preserved in limestone.
Researchers identified the microfossils from two fragments taken from the bottom of the tombstone. The limestone fragments less one centimeter square and half a centimeter thick where sliced into thin sections and photographed in high resolution. The images were then sent to specialists to identify the microfossils.
Six species of single-celled amoeboid fossils were identified: Endothyra sp., Omphalotis minima, Omphalotis sp., Globoendothyra sp., Paraarchaediscus angulatus, and P. concavus. The results indicate the source rock came from Europe, specifically either Ireland or Belgium, and cannot have come from anywhere in North America. Fragments from two other black limestone tombstones from the graveyard outside the Jamestown Memorial Church, one from 1697, one from 1713, were also sectioned and also found to have come from Belgium.
Historical evidence suggests Belgium is the likely source, as Belgium has been the most common source of the Lower Carboniferous “black” marble for centuries, from Roman times through to the present. It was particularly popular among the wealthy in England during Yeardley’s life.
He and other Virginian colonists would have been very aware of the latest fashions in England and would likely try to replicate them in the colonies.
The study has been published in the International Journal of Historical Archaeology and can be read in its entirety here.
