Peru 18th November 2021
Roughly 1,000 years ago, the finishing touches were being made to a rectangular length of fabric. At first glance, the textile resembles a modern tablecloth, but a slit in the centre betrays that it was designed to be worn as a tunic. This was no ordinary work-a-day garment, though, as the once-vibrant painted decoration suggests […]
CWA 110 – now on sale 18th November 2021
The fame of the Incas often eclipses other ancient societies that flourished in Peru.

Colin Richards explores some distinctive houses, which offer tantalising clues for understanding the celebrated statues. The post Entering the hare paenga appeared first on World Archaeology.
CWA 109 23rd September 2021
The statues of Rapa Nui (Easter Island) are among the most celebrated archaeological monuments – and enigmas – in the world.

These can include distinctive canoe-shaped houses that seem to have been carefully designed to reflect the islanders’ views about […]

The Antikythera Mechanism 22nd July 2021
A seemingly unassuming lump of corroded bronze has confounded investigators for more than a century, ever since it proved to contain precision gearwheels that simply should not have existed in the ancient Greek world. A new study, using cutting-edge techniques, has now revealed what this machine could do, and how it did it, as Tony […]
CWA 108 – now on sale 22nd July 2021
Encounters with advanced technologies from ancient civilisations are usually the stuff of adventure fiction rather than archaeological research. When the chance discovery in 1900 of a shipwreck loaded with Greek treasures brought a real-life example of the genre, the technology in question was initially viewed as a nondescript lump of metal. But then that lump […]

Prehistoric Scavengers May Have Crafted Clovis Points 13th January 2022
KENT, OHIO—Archaeologist Metin Eren of Kent State University suggests that Clovis points were more likely to have been used as knives to cut meat from already dead mammoths, or as dart tips to scare away other scavengers, than as weapons for killing such large animals, according to a Science News report. Using measurements taken from […]
