Magazine Description
In this issue
This issue features our annual Top 10 Discoveries of the Year, including dozens of painted sarcophagi from Egypt’s vast cemetery at Saqqara, a groundbreaking technique for radiocarbon dating pottery, and an underground shrine dedicated to Rome’s mythical founder. We’ve also scoured our archives to bring you more extraordinary finds, from which we have selected the Top 10 Discoveries of the Decade. In the rest of the issue, travel with us to Germany, where a 4,000-year-old ringed sanctuary reveals continental Europe’s surprising connections to Stonehenge. And follow in the footsteps of Lawrence of Arabia through the sands of Jordan as archaeologists uncover traces of a bitter World War I–era guerilla conflict. In these stories—and so many more—this issue of ARCHAEOLOGY brings the past to life.
