PORTLAND Ore. (KPTV) – An archaeologist says a woven
item discovered in an Oregon cave and dated to about
12,000 years ago may be one of the oldest known footwear 
or clothing in the world.
      

Richard Rosencrance, an archaeologist who has studied the
artifact, said the item was found at Cougar Mountain Cave in
south-central Oregon, part of a cluster of archaeological sites
that also includes the well-known Paisley and Connley Caves.

According to Rosencrance,the cave was excavated by a non-
professional in the 1950s, but much of the material was not
available for modern research until recently.

(FOX News) – A Texas archaeologist couple recently unearthed the
ancient tomb of a legendary king in Central America — a feat
that’s been over 40 years in the making.

Arlen Chase and Diane Chase (above) both professors with the
University of Houston, uncovered the fourth-century tomb at
the Caracol archaeological site in Belize.  
  

The discovery revealed a jade death mask, pottery vessels and
evidence of extensive trade networks from 350 AD. The find
was shared by the university on July 10.

The first shoe still contained its heel area after being
buried for around 2,000 years.

(FOX NEWS) – Volunteers were baffled recently when they
unearthed not one but two ancient shoes at a historic British
site.

The discoveries were made at Magna, an Ancient Roman fort
in Northumberland, in late May. The Roman Army Museum,
located near the fort in Brampton, made the announcement.

Photographs show volunteers holding the remarkably preserved
leather shoes, which have maintained their form despite being
buried for 2,000 years.

The second shoe surprised onlookers with its size, which is roughly equal to a U.S. men’s size 14.

Archaeologists near Bulgaria’s southeastern border with
Greece uncovered a nearly 7-foot statue of the ancient
Greek god Hermes during a dig this week.

The unexpected find happened during excavation of an
ancient Roman sewer in the abandoned city of Heraclea
Sintica, which was founded by King Philip II of Macedon
between 356 and 339 B.C.E.

The sprawling city was devastated by an earthquake in
388 A.D.
