What is Unreported Heritage News?

For more than a year I served as a correspondent for Heritage Key, a multimedia website that publishes history and archaeology articles. I broke many stories including the discovery of a 2,000 year old East Asian skeleton in Italy, the unearthing of a roofed causeway near the Bent Pyramid in Egypt, and a team that found an ancient ivory maskette on an island in the Canadian Arctic. In this blog I continue my work, telling stories that have not been reported on before.
