Cool stuff. I hope they open the First Emperor's tomb within my lifetime.
A funny thing about that news item is that according to the BBC it's a 30 m deep trench, but Swedish media call it a 30 m high pyramid under the mound. Someone's made a mistranslation.

I guess the Bosnian Pyramid is not a story any more...

Earliest-known Evidence Of Peanut, Cotton And Squash Farming Found
In Peru. I knew squash was a New World development, but I didn't realize that peanuts and cotton were.

If you live in the UK you can use Archsearch at the ADS to find local archaeological sites. The only information on my closest site is a listing as "ENCLOSURE, Uncertain". It hasn't been published or released onto the ADS and now lies under a bypass, so I'll probably write about the second closest site.
Fortunately some of the records are more helpful.

Oh, isn't Tangled Bank always on Wednesdays?
