In today's site visit, we go to Kilmartin Glen County Argyll in Scotland, where thousands of years of archaeology are jam packed into a small glen between the hills. When it comes to stone, they've got it all - Neolithic stone circles, cairns, cist graves, Celtic crosses ... you name it! The indoor museum combined with the outdoor walk among the monuments creates a sublime archaeological experience in which you see the artefacts up close and personal in the excellent newly renovated exhibit and then outside where they were found. It't not a famous place and not easy to get to, but make sure to seek out this spot the next time you're in Scotland.
This week's archaeology news delves into a number of exciting recent headlines from the archaeology news, including:
1) The first unlooted Etruscan tomb ever excavated using the most modern archaeological techniques
2) A Roman wall painting from London that comprised the world's most insane jigsaw puzzle to reconstruct
3) A lost city discovered in Peru
