An insider view on how to explore the “Jozi” in South African like a local As the Southern Africa bureau chief for Reuters, I’ve led the coverage of all kinds of news in the region, from political twists and turns in South Africa to a debt crisis in Zambia, a growing insurgency in Mozambique and oil and gas finds in Namibia. Reuters hired me in 2010 to cover commodities and mining - an exciting beat, given Southern Africa’s role as a major exporter of minerals. Later I became an economics correspondent before taking on my current role. Johannesburg - or “Jozi,” as South Africa’s economic hub is known to its residents - has a history rooted in the late 19th century Gold Rush. The inner city is now mostly rundown, with dilapidated buildings marking the skyline after a majority of b...

Archaeologists in Cambodia have unearthed a dozen centuries-old sandstone statues in a “remarkable discovery” at the Angkor World Heritage Site near the city of Siem Reap, authorities said Wednesday. The statues — depicting so-called “door guardians” — were discovered last week near the north gate leading to the 11th-century Royal Palace at Angkor Thom, the last capital of the Khmer Empire, said Long Kosal, spokesman for the Apsara National Authority, the government agency that oversees the archaeological park. Teams were assessing the ancient gate’s structure and searching for fallen stones around the portal on the north side of Angkor Thom, one of four entrances to the complex, when the discovery was made.

Archaeologists discover bronze age town buried in northwest Arabia

First discovery of its kind in the region challenges traditional view of transition from nomadic pastoralism to nascent urbanism New archaeological research has revealed an exceptional Bronze Age town in the Khaybar oasis of northwest Arabia, confirming a major transition from mobile, nomadic life to settled, town life in the second half of the third millennium BCE. The finding infers that oases such as Khaybar were carefully controlled and valued landscapes that, with the advent of agriculture, supported permanent populations as centres for exchange and interaction with mobile communities. This nascent urbanism profoundly impacted the region's socio-economic organisation. A 3D virtual reconstruction of the Bronze Age town of al-Natah, based on newly published archaeological...

Buried with a padlock on her foot and an iron sickle across her neck, "Zosia" was never supposed to be able to come back from the dead. Entombed in an unmarked cemetery in Pien, northern Poland, the young woman was one of dozens feared by her neighbours to have been a "vampire". Now, using DNA, 3D printing and modelling clay, a team of scientists has reconstructed Zosia's 400-year-old face, revealing the human story buried by supernatural beliefs. "It's really ironic, in a way," said Swedish archaeologist Oscar Nilsson. "These people burying her, they did everything they could in order to prevent her from coming back from the dead... we have done everything we can in order to bring her back to life." Zosia, as she was named by locals, was found in 2022 by a team of archaeo...
