This ancient site is just three miles away from Stonehenge itself, located in the village of Bulford, Wiltshire. Consisting of two wooden poles placed 400 feet (120 metres) apart, this long-lost monument might appear rather basic at first glance.

CT scanning and X-ray imaging allowed archaeologists to examine the mummy in extreme detail. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Archaeologists in Poland are finally solving an over 2,000-year-old mummy mystery.

This paper proposes the RePAIR dataset that represents a challenging benchmark to test modern computational and data driven methods for puzzle-solving and reassembly tasks. Our dataset has unique properties that are uncommon to current benchmarks for 2D and 3D puzzle solving. The fragments and fractures are realistic, caused by a collapse of a fresco during a World War II bombing at the Pompeii archaeological park. The fragments are also eroded and have missing pieces with irregular shapes and different dimensions, challenging further the reassembly algorithms. The dataset is multi-modal providing high resolution images with characteristic pictorial elements, detailed 3D scans of the fragments and meta-data annotated by the archaeologists. Ground truth has been generated through several years of unceasing fieldwork, including the excavation and cleaning of each fragment, followed by manual puzzle solving by archaeologists of a subset of approx.

However, the lack of expert-annotated, open-access resources has hindered the analysis of ALS data using advanced deep learning techniques.

Science Archaeology How a hobbyist's hunch uncovered hidden Roman military camps The finds are forcing historians to reconsider the extent of the Roman military's advance in Germany. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. An amateur archaeologist armed only with satellite imagery and a hunch helped uncover evidence that's reshaping how historians understand the Roman Empire's advance into present-day Germany in the third century CE. In 2020, hobbyist Michael Barkowski was combing through aerial imagery available online, when he spotted an unusual formation near the town of Aken, in the state of Saxony-Anhalt in northwestern Germany. Barkowski suspected that the large rectangular outlines and apparent ditches he was seeing could be signs of marching camps that were commonly deployed by Roman legions .

Treasures unearthed by hundreds of archaeologists so far during work on the controversial planned HS2 train line have been shown exclusively to the BBC. The 450,000 objects, which are being held in a secret warehouse, include a possible Roman gladiator's tag, a hand axe that may be more than 40,000 years old and 19th Century gold dentures. It is an unprecedented amount and array of items, which will yield new insights into Britain's past, says the Centre for British Archaeology. Major building developments in the UK need land to be assessed by archaeologists as part of the planning process, to protect heritage sites. Since 2018 around 1,000 archaeologists have been involved in 60 digs along the route HS2 is set to take between London to Birmingham.

The medieval'cog' was nearly 92 feet long and featured castles on its bow and stern. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent every weekday. Archaeologists in Denmark say a sunken Viking ship near Copenhagen is the largest boat of its kind ever discovered--and that's saying something. At nearly 92 feet long, the 600-year-old vessel is also one of the best preserved examples of a cog, a "super ship" whose advanced design and carrying capacity helped transform trade in medieval Europe. "The find is a milestone for maritime archaeology," excavation lead Otto Uldum said in a statement, adding the boat now offers a "unique opportunity to understand both the construction and life on board the biggest trading ships of the Middle Ages."
