    17/05/2025

    Archaeologists in Varberg, Sweden, have discovered six historical shipwrecks during investigations for the Varbergstunneln project. The finds, located near the original shoreline in southwest Sweden, range in age from the Middle Ages to the 17th century, offering new insights into the region’s maritime history. The discoveries were made by teams from the Bohuslän Museum, Visual Archaeology, and Cultural Environment Halland, as part of preparatory work for the tunnel construction. The shipwrecks were found in an area historically significant for maritime activity, close to Varberg’s coastline. The vessels vary in age, with some dating back to the medieval period, providing a…

A new study published in the Journal of Archaeolog A new study published in the Journal of Archaeological Science has found that sledge-pulling dogs develop unique skeletal changes, offering a way to identify their historical role in Arctic communities. The research, led by Dr Louise Pionnier, examines entheseal changes—modifications where muscles or tendons attach to bones—and could shed light on ancient human-canine relationships.

NEWS: Roman Town Find in Cambridgeshire Halts Net- NEWS: Roman Town Find in Cambridgeshire Halts Net-Zero Solar Farm Plans.

A significant archaeological discovery in Cambridgeshire has halted plans for a proposed solar farm, highlighting the tension between the United Kingdom’s net-zero ambitions and the preservation of its historical heritage. 

The remains of a well-preserved Roman town, uncovered during survey work for the East Park Energy solar farm and energy storage project near Great Staughton, have been granted heritage protection status as a scheduled monument, effectively blocking development on the site. This finding, announced in September 2024, highlights the importance of archaeological assessments in modern planning and raises questions about balancing renewable energy goals with cultural conservation.
