Ephesus in Turkey was a major city of the Roman world, and this is where thousands of bones and around 67 sets of individual Gladiator remains have been found. Professor Karl Grossschmidt and Professor Fabian Kanz have spent the last five years cataloguing and analysing every bone. Nothing has been found in the world at all like it before, and it answers quite a lot of questions about the life of a Gladiator.
Archaeologists have unearthed, what is believed to be the largest Neolithic village ever found in Britain near Stonehenge on Salisbury Plain. So far, they have excavated eight houses, but say there could be around one hundred houses. The houses are about 5m (16ft) square, and a vast amount of pottery, flint and animal bones have been discovered there. The latest find had exactly the same layout as Neolithic houses at Skara Brae in Orkney.
