Who hid the 409 rubles during the Russian Revolution remains a mystery. Most of the coins are 10-ruble gold pieces minted prior to the Russian Revolution. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. A remarkable trove of Russian history is finally seeing the light of day after spending nearly 110 years hidden underground. While surveying a historic home in the small town of Torzhok about 135 miles northwest of Moscow, archaeologists discovered a clay container filled with 409 gold coins buried beneath the structure's foundation.

A mixture of archeology and chemistry brings the aroma of mummification to museums. Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Visiting a museum could soon be a truly multisensory experience--smells included. Thanks to recent advances in the field of biomolecular archeology, scientists can now detect traces of molecular fingerprints on ancient artifacts. From these tiny particles, scientists can determine how the objects may have smelled .

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 site, a few kilometers from her own hut in Ipatsé, a Kuikuro village in the Xingu Indigenous territory, was once the backyard of her great-grandparents' house. As she scrapes the brown earth with a trowel, she soon spots a black ceramic shard. It is only about the size of her palm, and this is her first day ever on an archaeological excavation. But she immediately recognizes what the object once was. "It's an alato," she says, showing the piece to a group of archaeologists and other Kuikuro who have gathered to watch the excavation in the village of Anitahagu. An alato, Yamána explains, is a large pan used to cook beiju, a white flatbread made with yucca flour that's eaten almost every day in her village. Her grandmother still has one in the backyard fire pit where she prepares most meals, just as countless Kuikuro women did before her. This alato likely belonged to her great-grandmother on her mother's side.
