Researchers in Sweden have analyzed a rare plano-convex ingot discovered in Särdal, initially thought to be from the Bronze Age but now confirmed as an Iron Age artifact. The object's copper-zinc-tin-lead alloy matches similar finds in Poland, suggesting extensive trade networks across the Baltic region. This discovery highlights the value of scientific collaboration in reshaping understandings of ancient history.

The CSIC's HINTERLAND project has uncovered buried structures expanding the traditional view of castros in northwest Iberia. Using drones, LiDAR sensors, and historical images, researchers identified ditches, paths, and activity areas beyond known walls. These findings, published in Archaeological Prospection, challenge the notion that they were mere fortified villages.
