Researchers used AI to decode Bronze Age Assyrian clay tablets — and found merchants tracking debts, contracts, and disputes over 4,000 years ago.

If our "modern" problems look a lot like theirs, maybe the tech matters less than the systems we build around it.

Researchers find 3,500-year-old loom that reveals key aspects of textile revolution in the Bronze Age

Approximately 3,500 years ago, in the Bronze Age settlement of Cabezo Redondo in present-day Villena, a fire razed dwellings and workshops to the ground. However, the same fire that destroyed part of the village also helped preserve an object that is incredibly hard to document in archaeology: a loom with a largely wooden structure. Recently published in the journal Antiquity, this finding by a team of researchers from several Spanish universities is one of only a few known cases in Mediterranean Europe in which both the set of loom weights and components made from wood and plant fibres have been preserved.
