		<description><![CDATA[Ancient historians may complain about the lack of new data coming to surface. Archaeologists, on the other hand, do not seem to have such a problem, since new excavations reveal new and exciting material all the time. Of course, most of the sites are already known to seasoned archaeologists, although excavations are slow to come about due to increasing financial difficulties. An announcement on a new ancient city found in Greece is about the city of Thuria in Messenia (south west Peloponnese). The excavations aimed at the positioning and further studying of the Mycenaean palace in the city. The artefacts include a Linear B tablet dating again from the Mycenaean period. The tablet bears the symbol of a double axe. Other artefacts date from the neolithic period (rock art with a medusa and a dolphin) and a benefactor&#8217;s inscription from the first century AD. For a photo of the ancient city follow this LINK The Mycenaean Woman is from a fresco that does not belong to this site.

		<description><![CDATA[Around 430 BC a poet and musician died in ancient Athens. An excavation of his grave in the deme of Alopeke revealed a lyre, an avlos, a harp, papyri, wax tablets and a pen, all of which gave us clues about his professional life. The findings proved to be crucial for the study of ancient music, since no other harp has been found until then (only representations on vases), while the papyri were the oldest to be found in Greece. The excavation took place in 1981. Since then, the precious artefacts were studied in depth but only now researchers felt ready to present the results in front of the general public. The musical findings and their analysis will be presented at the Megaro Mousikes in Athens. In the following photo you can see the pen, the tablets, part of the lyre and the avlos. For more information on the subject and the original photo, consult the Greek newspaper To Vima at http://www.tovima.gr/culture/article/?aid=483025]]></description>
