The discovery of a 2000-year-old dagger was a vital clue to revealing a forgotten battle between the Roman Empire's legions and tribal warriors

 

In Switzerland, a volunteer archaeologist using a metal detector uncovered a 2000-year-old dagger. It proved to be a vital clue in the story of a long-forgotten battle between the Roman Empire and tribal warriors.

 

Lucas Schmid was a dental student and a volunteer archaeologist when he uncovered the ancient silver and brass weapon in 2019, The Smithsonian reported.

 

Schmid unearth the dagger in the mountainous GraubĂĽnden region of Switzerland, an area believed to be the site of a lost battlefield where Imperial Roman soldiers fought Rhaetian warriors in approximately 15 BC.

 

His discovery sparked an excavation of the area that revealed a trove of ancient military artifacts.

 

The dagger, dated to around 15 BC, is a rare find. Only four of its kind have been found in former Roman territories, the team behind the discovery explained.

 

Schmid's find led to the discovery of hundreds of other ancient artifacts. A new investigation of the site, run by a team from the Archaeological Service of GraubĂĽnden, the University of Basel (Switzerland), unearthed spearheads, lead slingshots, parts of shields, coins, and hobnails from Roman soldiers, Live Science report.

 

These objects are now being displayed for the first time by the Archaeological Service of GraubĂĽnden (ADG), The Smithsonian reported.

 

Talking to LiveScience.com, Schmid said that he didn't think the area had been well-searched and started finding buried metal fragments. "It was clear to me that more artifacts could be expected," he said.

 

Although he said he had a hunch the area would host some fruitful finds, he added: "I did not expect to find such an important item at this rather unlikely place."

 

In his conversation with Live Science, Peter-Andrew Schwarz, an archaeologist at the University of Basel, said that the excavation of the site also recently unearthed a Roman coin minted between 29 BC and 26 BC during the reign of the Emperor Augustus.

A gray wolf’s epic journey ends in death on a California highway

 

The young gray wolf who took experts and enthusiasts on a thousand-mile journey across California died last month, ending a trek that brought hope and inspiration to many during a time of ecological collapse.

The travels of the young male through the state were a rare occurrence: he was the first wolf from Oregon’s White River pack to come to California and possibly the first gray wolf in nearly a century to be spotted so far south.

 

The wolf, known as OR-93, was born in Oregon in 2019 in the White River pack. The pack is managed by the Confederated Tribes of the Warm Springs. A tribal biologist had collared OR-93 in June 2020 when he was just 14 months old – not fully mature but nearly ready to look for a mate – and took a photo of him, looking regal and languid after effects of the tranquilizer wore out.

 

OR-93 first entered California on the last day of January 2020, dipping his paws into Modoc county. Historically, gray wolves were found throughout California, but they were probably extirpated from the state in the 1920s. In 2014, officials listed gray wolves as endangered under the California Endangered Species Act, making them illegal to hunt, trap, harass or harm.

 

After his sojourn in California, OR-93 zagged back to Oregon, returning once more to California at the end of February.

 

He moved remarkably fast, Weiss says, padding around 16 counties between the first week in February and the end of March. He traveled more than 935 air miles (straight miles on a map), over three months in search of a mate and territory.

Gotta be Comms.

 

Rotting flesh may be sweeter than honey: These bees evolved to eat meat, researchers say

 

While most bees feed on pollen and nectar, scientists say some bees have developed a taste for rotting flesh.

 

Researchers have learned that a stingless, tropical bee has evolved to have an extra tooth for biting and a gut that more closely resembles those of vultures in order to munch on meat, according to a study published last week in the American Society of Microbiologists’ journal mBio.

 

The reason? Likely due to intense competition for nectar, study co-author Laura Figueroa told USA TODAY.

 

"When asked where to find bees, people often picture fields of wildflowers. While true for almost all species, there is a group of specialized bees, also known as the vulture bees, that instead can be found slicing chunks of meat from carcasses in tropical rainforests," the authors wrote in the study titled, "Why Did the Bee Eat the Chicken?"

 

Only three bee species have evolved to exclusively eat meat, though other species that forage for pollen and nectar may also consume animal carcasses when they are available, according to the study.

 

To study these species, researchers visited Costa Rica, where they hung raw chicken from branches to attract vulture bees.

 

They dodged bullet ants and problem solved when the chicken was stolen by other animals, said Figueroa, a postdoctoral research fellow at Cornell University. Researchers from Columbia University and the University of California, Riverside also participated.

 

While stingless bees usually collect pollen in small baskets on their hind legs, the researchers saw vulture bees use the baskets to carry their meat, according to the study.

 

"They had little chicken baskets," said Quinn McFrederick, a UC Riverside entomologist, in a statement to UC Riverside.

 

Researchers also noticed the bees preferred fresh meat that was just starting to decompose and would avoid fully rotted meat.

 

Upon further study, they found the vulture bee gut microbiome is full of acid-loving bacteria similar to those found in vultures and hyenas, Figueroa said. One of the bacteria types, called Lactobacillus, is also found in a lot of fermented foods like sourdough, while another bacteria found in vulture bee guts, Carnobacterium, is associated with flesh digestion.

 

Figueroa said the bacteria helps protect the bees from pathogens found in rotting meat.

 

"For us, we can tell if we open our fridge and something has gone bad. And if you were to eat it, it's going to make you sick," she said. "So animals that are scavengers have evolved this microbiome and this physiology to deal with that bacteria and still be able to take advantage of that food source."

 

Figueroa said vulture bees still produce sweet, edible honey, though she has never tasted it herself.

 

But many carnivorous bees are not quite as sweet. Though they can't sting, some species can bite and a few "produce blister-causing secretions in their jaws, causing the skin to erupt in painful sores," entomologist Doug Yanega, one of the study authors, told UC Riverside.

 

Still, Figueroa sees the insects as beautiful. When she was first introduced to the bees in 2015, she quickly "fell in love with them" and sought to do more research on the species, which was lacking studies.

 

"They're not scary even though they may sound a little bit scary," she said.

 

She said she hopes the study will encourage environmental conservation of the areas where the bees live and that it "gets people excited about the diversity of animals in the world."

 

The research team plans to continue studying vulture bee microbiomes in hopes of documenting more of the bacteria, fungi and viruses in their bodies.

 

"There's still so much to learn about these bees," Figueroa said. "There's a lot of questions still to be answered."

> Is there a way to track this since the release of the vaccines?

I asked the same question a while ago.

Sure, they're ALL in the Govt Data Base.

Should be a law, just like checking to see if someone is under the influence, to also check Vax Status.

MKUltra – betting it's linked.
