Caral - Caral continues to yield surprising finds for archaeologists, even 19 years after it was first discovered.Peruvian archaeologist Ruth Shady discovered Caral in 1994. Caral, which was inhabited between 2,600 and 2,000 BC, is located approximately 200 kilometers north of Lima. As part of the nineteenth anniversary since its discovery, a number of cultural activities were held at Caral this weekend. Another cause for celebration at Caral this weekend was the inauguration of the Museo Comunitario de Supe, where El Comercio reports that visitors will be able to learn about the ongoing investigations into the Caral archaeological site. And even 19 years after investigations first began at the site, archaeologists are still making new finds. Efe reports that a road connecting the prestigious center area of the city to the more modest outskirts was discovered recently, as well as the remains of a small public building on the edge of the city. According to Shady, Caral may have ultimately met its demise because of a phenomena that we often think of as solely modern: climate change. Efe reports that Periods of flooding and drought rocked the land, and were accompanied by intense earthquakes.

Çiçekdağ - Male bones in 23 graves dating back to 1,500 years ago have been found during archaeological excavations in the central Anatolian province of Kırşehir’s Çiçekdağ district. The bones are being examined at the Ahi Evran University (AEU) Anthropology Department’s laboratory and experts are researching as to why there were only male bones in the graves. Associate Professor Ahmet Cem Erkman said the Çiçekdağı district dated back to the early Byzantine period and they have been excavating the area for two years in and around a bath. He said that many stone sarcophaguses were found during the excavations and they were the home to 14 adult men, six children and three baby boys’ bones. He said it was interesting that all of the bones were male bones.
