The elusive Arthur
Article Abstract:
Two discoveries in the summer of 1998 have provided links to the life and times of Arthur, King of the Britons. An inscription on a roofing slate at Tintagel in Cornwall is the name "Artognov," which some scholars suggest may be Arthur's signature. A hillfort near Bath is a rectangular platform which may have been one of Arthur's bases of operations. These discoveries wait further confirmation.

Myth of the hunter-gatherer: the lives of ancient foragers were not always "nasty, brutish, and short"
Article Abstract:
Archaeological discoveries made in the 1980s and 1990s have challenged the long-held belief that pre-agricultural hunter-gatherer societies lacked the social complexity of agricultural societies. Some hunter-gathering societies built large permanent settlements, had social classes, made war, and had strong artistic and technological traditions.
