Recent excavations at Coppa Nevigata (Manfredonia) have uncovered new evidence from the Late Bronze Age Subappennine phases, including burnt rectangular huts, Mycenaean-type pottery, and traces of domestic and craft activities.

Fishing some 5,300 years ago: a Neolithic fishhook made of wild boar tusk, wrapped with a fishing line.
The size of the fishhook is 6.5 cm. It was used to catch pikes.
Found in the lake-dwelling settlement of Arbon Bleiche 3, Switzerland.

On display at Archäologisches Museum Frauenfeld

We just ended the third week of the excavation campaign at Coppa Nevigata. In the picture, our irreplaceable Land Rover Defender is surrounded by the rays of the amazing Adriatic sunrise.

Yesterday, Monday 22 September, the excavation came to a halt to firmly express our opposition to the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people.
A gesture of solidarity and resistance. #StopGenocide

Three knives are displayed on a glass surface, each consisting of a curved wooden handle with a chipped stone blade embedded with birch tar along one edge. The wood appears brown and polished, and the handles have a small hole near one end. The knives are shown from above with clear view of their construction and the number 4 is visible in the lower right corner of the image.

It's that time again! The 43rd archaeological campaign at Coppa Nevigata is set to begin. It's a privilege to continue our research on this incredible Bronze Age fortified site in Northern Apulia, and we are looking forward to all that this season has to offer.

In @nature.com we report the presence of the Mesolithic on Malta - upending everything we knew about the seafaring capabilities of late European hunter-gatherers and pushing back Maltese prehistory by 1000 years. Watch the clip, link to open access paper is below. 1/5

An absolutely stunning photo! The 35m-long #Roman shipwreck, along with its cargo of 6,000 (!) amphorae was discovered in 2019 off the coast of the Greek Island of Kefalonia.
It’s one of the largest Roman shipwrecks found in the Mediterranean.

🏺 AncientBluesky

A large accumulation of amphorae scattered across the sandy ocean floor. The amphorae are densely clustered, with many partially buried in the seabed, forming the distinct shape of a ship. The scene is illuminated by dim, bluish underwater light.
