b"We've got a few articles that are all over the place - literally - this week.\\nThe first is about a re-analysis of what was thought was an ancient harbor in\\nItaly. Turns out there's more to it. Next we talk about, well, the prehistoric\\nworld in general as it pertains the role of women. As with everything, there's\\nmore to that story and it's way more complex than early researchers would have\\nliked. Finally we have a story of massive cave art in a hard-to-access area in\\nAlabama. The figures are massive and would have been difficult to see in their\\nentirety.\\nInterested in learning about how to use X-Rays and similar technology in\\narchaeology?
