Early Stone Tools, a Unique Burial, and a Stone Circle - Ep 256 The Archaeology Show

This week we have 3 interesting archaeology news stories. First, we discuss a new dating technique that researchers in Ukraine are using on early human tools. Then, we head over to Mexico where a construction  project has uncovered a uniquely arranged group burial. And finally, we head down to Peru, and the gorgeous city of Cajamarca, where researchers have found the stone circle that was built over 4,000 years ago.
