Jerash 20th May 2021
It is winter. The kitchen is humming with activity, as sheep’s wool is prepared for textile production and fires are kept up. The sheep have already been sheared with large iron scissors, and now the wool is being combed, while the fibres are softened and dyed. The household is busy. One member gets out a […]
CWA 107 – now on sale 20th May 2021
In AD 749, the Middle East was struck by a devastating earthquake. Numerous cities suffered serious damage, including Jerash, which is now one of the most stunning archaeological sites in Jordan.

Review: The Archaeology of Seeing 15th April 2021
We, as modern humans, tend to look at ancient art with a 21st-century mindset.

Yet is Ithaca in fact Odysseus’ island, where Penelope faithfully weaved, steadfastly waiting for her mischievous prince in their well-appointed palace? The post Richard Hodges: […]

Modern Human DNA Detected in Siberia’s Densiova Cave 24th June 2021
LEIPZIG, GERMANY—Science Magazine reports that analysis of more than 700 soil samples from Siberia’s Denisova Cave has detected traces of modern human DNA, which suggests that modern humans may have occupied the cave alongside Denisovans and Neanderthals.
