HUGE And UNIQUE MINOAN Structure Found On CRETE
In this week's ancient history news I lead with the discovery of a huge, circular Bronze Age structure on Crete. Although there's evidence it was built by the Minoan civilisation, nothing similar has been found and its not clear what its function was. I also discuss a DNA study that's been carried out on individuals from a Neolithic grave and pinpoints an important time in European prehistory, as well as the latest discoveries from a Bronze Age site in Wales.
