An archaeologist cleans a chariot found at a Thracian mound near the village of Borisovo, some 360 km (223 miles) east from the capital Sofia, August 7, 2008. A team of archaeologists led by Bulgarian archaeologist Daniela Agre found the fully preserved chariot in the mound, dated back to the 2nd century A.D. Not much history has survived of the Thracians, who some experts say settled on what is now Bulgaria, Romania, northern Greece and Turkey's European territory from as early as 4000 B.C. until they were finally incorporated into the Roman Empire in A.D.

Is captain Cook the first explorer of Australia? A new archeology discovery just might rewrite the Australian history. These archaeologists have been on a seven-week expedition to Western Arnhem Land in Australia's Northern Territory, where they've been testing the established historical timeline about the first contact between local indigenous people and foreign traders, who the archaeologists think might be the Macassans from Indonesia, for trading the trepang, or sea cucumbers.

A team of 30 archaeologists and forensic scientists are carefully exhuming the remains of about 300 British and Australian soldiers killed at the Battle of Fromelles in northern France during the Great War. It's the first World War I mass grave to be found for over 80 years.

Joyce White, co-Director of the Middle Mekong Archaeological Project (MMAP), talks about the origins of the project and gives an overview of the test excavations the team has conducted at a series of cave/rockshelter sites in northern Laos since 2007. Dr. White is interviewed during the 2010 season at a cave called Tham An Mah near a village called Ban Xieng Mouk just outside of Luang Prabang. The excavation yielded several important Iron Age discoveries that will shed light on MMAP's research on human prehistory in this under-studied region of the world.

Images taken by Dr. Capelotti of Norwegian fjords and burial mounds combined with views of Viking ships and artifacts at the Norwegian National and the Viking Ship museums in Oslo set the stage for a leap across the Atlantic to the archaeological site of L'Anse aux Meadows at the northern tip of Newfoundland, the only authenticated Viking site in the New World. This channel is for students in the Anthropology and American Studies courses taught by Dr. P.J. Capelotti at Penn State Abington College in Abington, PA. http://www.youtube.com/PSUAbingtonAnthy

Vikings in a meeting with a hilarious twist... Director: Per Tomas Govertsen In Northern Norway during the Iron-age, there were about 10-15 Chiefdoms, one of which was at Borg in Lofoten. This is the only place where a Chieftains farm is found. Excavations shows that it was established around 500 AD. Experience the reconstructed longhouse, craftsmen at work, join in the activities, row the Viking ship, see the smithy, an exhibition of original artefacts, animals of ancient breed, café and museum shop. Maybe even a Viking will appear?

Archaeologists in Jordan have discovered a cave underneath one of the worlds oldest churches and say it may have been an even more ancient site of Christian worship. Archaeologist Abdel-Qader al-Housan, head of the Rihab Center for Archaeological Studies, said this week that the cave was unearthed in the northern Jordanian city of Rihab after three months of excavation, and shows evidence of early Christian rituals. The cave is under St. Georges Church, which some believe was built in the year AD 230, though the date is widely disputed.
