First up this week we look at one more reason why Cahokia wasn’t all of a sudden abandoned the way researchers had once assumed. Then, excavations at a site in Lake George, NY may (or may not!) shed some light on a 1700’s era Smallpox hospital. And finally, is it possible that a ritual has been passed down 12,000 years? New evidence in Australia suggests it is!

• Archaeologists dispute theory of largest Native American city's abandonment
• In Lake George, they're sifting through history
• 12,000-year-old ritual passed down 500 generations may be world’s oldest
• Archaeological evidence of an ethnographically documented Australian Aboriginal ritual dated to the last ice age

This week we have 3 archaeology news stories. First, a bronze age site known as Must Farm has been called Britain’s Pompeii, and we look at why it has been given that name. Then, a fragmented ivory Pyx was found hidden in a Christian church. And finally, new dietary analysis of a Danish Bog body tells a story of neolithic immigration between very different communities.
