The Smithsonian's National Museum of Asian Art announced it will return three looted bronze sculptures to India: "Shiva Nataraja" (ca. 990), "Somaskanda" (12th century), and "Saint Sundarar with Paravai." Provenance research linked the works to art dealers known for trafficking looted antiquities. The museum partnered with the Photo Archives of the French Institute of Pondicherry in 2023, finding the bronzes had been photographed in Tamil Nadu temples between 1956 and 1959 and removed in violation of Indian laws. This follows the museum's December return of three Khmer-period sculptures to Cambodia, also determined to be looted.
A new study published in the Pompeii Archaeological Park's online journal reveals that the ancient Roman city featured multilevel buildings far more impressive than previously understood. Using digital technology, the Pompeii Reset project—a collaboration between the Pompeii Archaeological Park and Humboldt University of Berlin—created 3D reconstructions of structures encased in ash during the 79 CE eruption of Mount Vesuvius. The case study focused on the House of Thiasus in Regio IX, where a 39-foot-tall tower with two levels, including a dining room with city views, was reconstructed. Researchers employed laser scanners, structured-light scanning, and photography to build digital models, then virtually added missing architectural elements like staircases and windows, testing them for structural plausibility.
Archaeologists working on the controversial Maya Train project in Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula have discovered a 2,000-year-old limestone face carving. The 18-inch-tall sculpture, featuring deep-set eye sockets, a flat nose, and a cleft lip, was found in Sierra Papacal near Mérida during construction of the Mérida-Progreso Railway Bypass. The carving was attached to the foundation of an ovoid building with a west-facing entrance, suggesting it served as a ceremonial marker. Mexico's National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) is overseeing the excavation of 15 other nearby structures, and the artifact will be transported to a laboratory for conservation.
