Archaeologists are baffled but excited by the discovery of two silver coins from the Roman Empire on a remote island in the Baltic Sea, halfway between Sweden and Estonia.
No clues reveal how the coins got there, but they may have been left by Norse traders, lost in a shipwreck or brought there on a Roman ship that voyaged to the far north...
Johann Ronnby, an archaeologist at Södertörn University in Stockholm, was part of the team that found the coins with metal detectors in March, at a beach site marked by old fireplaces on the island of Gotska Sandön...

| 1,000-Year-Old Canoe Found. Source: See link below. |
A piece of Native American history buried beneath Lake Waccamaw for hundreds of years was brought to the surface Wednesday. A team of archaeologists, neighbors, and members of the Waccamaw Siouan Tribe worked to bring a nearly 1,000-year-old canoe out of the lake...

Hill’s family reached out to the North Carolina Office of State Archaeology about the canoe. A team then worked to move it closer to the family’s pier. The canoe sat there for nearly two years until it was finally brought to the surface Wednesday...
