A HOARD OF EXCEPTIONAL COINS FROM THE END OF THE XVTH CENTURY DISCOVERED IN DIJON

During an archaeological diagnostic in the center of Dijon, near the old abbey of Saint-Bénigne, an Inrap team has brought to light a coin hoard of about thirty gold and silver pieces from the second half of the XVth century, coming from Italy and the Holy Roman Empire states.

Found Contents of a Bronze Age "Tool Kit."

Bronze Age Europe was a violent place. But only recently have scientists uncovered the scope of the violence, at a 3000-year-old site in northern Germany where thousands of well-armed young men fought with sophisticated weapons in in what appears to be an epic battle. Now, a bagful of bronze artifacts and tools found at the bottom of the river in the middle of the battlefield suggests some of these warriors traveled from hundreds of kilometers away to fight. That suggests northern European societies were organized on such a large scale that leaders could call warriors to distant battlefields, long before modern communication systems and roads.

As you can see from the map, there is a system in the Gulf that is expected to become a cyclone in the next forty-eight hours.

If that one affects us at all, it won't be before several days.

Happy hunting,
