A pocos centímetros del suelo del bosque, en las estribaciones orientales del Taunus, queda una parte de la frontera romana que apenas se había mirado. El fuerte de la Kapersburg, cerca de Rosbach vor der Höhe (Hesse, Alemania), es uno de los mejor conservados del limes germano, pero la investigación se había centrado en la […]
A finales de julio de 1926, el arqueólogo sueco Axel Persson y su equipo llevaban tres semanas excavando la tumba de cúpula de Dendra, en el sur del Peloponeso, y estaban cansados. El suelo de la cámara había aparecido saqueado, de modo que se volvieron hacia las cuatro fosas abiertas bajo él. En la del […]
El 26 de agosto de 1346 se disputó una de las batallas más importantes de la Guerra de los Cien Años, la de Crécy, en la que el ejército inglés de Eduardo III derrotó al francés de Felipe VI de forma tan contundente que permitió al primero sitiar Calais y determinar el sino de la […]
A few inches below the forest floor in the eastern Taunus hills lies a stretch of the Roman frontier that has barely been examined. The Kapersburg fort, near Rosbach vor der Höhe in Hesse, is one of the best preserved on the German limes, the chain of Roman border defences. Research has long concentrated on […]
Spanish lawmakers are due to vote on Friday on two government housing decrees drawn up after an outcry over the eviction of an 87-year-old woman, with their passage in doubt.
In late July 1926, the Swedish archaeologist Axel Persson and his team had been digging the beehive-shaped tomb at Dendra, in the southern Peloponnese, for three weeks, and they were tired. The floor of the chamber turned out to have been looted, so they turned to the four pits sunk beneath it. In the eastern […]

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is reportedly considering calling a general election for November 29th amid the increasing possibility that the two major housing laws his government proposed will be voted down in parliament on Friday.
On 26 August 1346, English and French armies met at one of the most important battles of the Hundred Years’ War: Crécy. Edward III’s English army crushed the French army of Philip VI. The defeat was so complete that it allowed Edward to lay siege to Calais and tilt the whole war in his favour. […]
Spain braces for key housing decree votes, Spaniards break coffee consumption record, EU opens case against Spain over delayed blackout plan and more news on Friday October 2nd.
Dig a trench for a canal that will run 107 kilometres (66 miles) across northern France and you expect scraps: a stretch of road, perhaps, or a lone farmstead. At Sermaize, in the Hauts-de-France region, archaeologists from France’s National Institute for Preventive Archaeological Research (Inrap) found something much rarer. It is a complete workshop, with […]
Cuando se abre una zanja para un canal de 106 kilómetros, lo normal es encontrarse con restos sueltos, un tramo de camino o una granja aislada. En Sermaize, un pueblo de la región francesa de Hauts-de-France, los arqueólogos del Instituto Nacional de Investigaciones Arqueológicas Preventivas (Inrap) se han topado con algo bastante menos habitual, un […]
Of all the animals shown in the tombs and art of ancient Egypt, very few have a name. Almost all of those that do are dogs. A handful of horses are named too, though far fewer survive. Cats, the animal most of us now associate with Egypt, are a different story. The literature offers only […]
Entre todos los animales que aparecen en las tumbas y en el arte del Antiguo Egipto, muy pocos llevan nombre propio, y casi todos los que lo llevan son perros. También hubo caballos con nombre, aunque se conservan muchos menos. De los gatos, tan ligados hoy a la imagen de Egipto, la bibliografía solo maneja […]
Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has welcomed the fact that his British counterpart is attempting to recalibrate the UK's relationship with the EU, calling Britain a "sister nation" and stressing that "Brexit was a huge loss".
