VIET NAM – 
An Khe - In what has been described as a breakthrough, Vietnamese and Russian archaeologists have found valuable artifacts in the Central Highlands province of Gia Lai that they say belonged to ancient humans around 800,000 years ago. The traces of homo erectus " including fossils and more than 200 stone tools, were discovered at 12 locations around An Khe Town, according to the findings announced by the scientists on Friday. It was "the biggest and most important" archeological discovery not only for Vietnam but Asia, Dr. Nguyen Giang Hai, chief of Vietnam's Institute of Archeology, told Tuoi Tre newspaper. The Russian team worked with the Vietnamese institute on the two-year excavation. The archaeologists are expected to organize an international conference to publish the findings to the world. Huynh Nu Thu Ha, vice chairwoman of the People's Committee of Gia Lai, said the province will launch a project to preserve the relic sites.
BULGARIE – 
Montana - A treasure consisting of silver adornments which was most probably buried in the fall of 1688 during the so called Chiprovtsi Uprising, the largest rebellion of Bulgarian Catholics against the Ottoman Empire, has been found near the city of Montana in Northwest Bulgaria. It notes that the silver treasure consisting of nearly a dozen female adornments dates back to the second half of the 17th century, and is very likely to have been hidden during the Chiprovtsi Uprising, a major rebellion organized by Roman Catholic Bulgarians, with the participation of Eastern Orthodox Bulgarians, seeking to liberate Bulgaria from the Ottoman Empire.

ALGERIE - Chlef - Un chantier du tronçon autoroutier Chlef-Ténès a dû être interrompu dimanche dernier au niveau de la localité d'Ouled-Farès, distante d'environ une quinzaine de km au nord de Chlef, après que les ouvriers appartenant à une entreprise portugaise en charge du projet ont découvert des ossements humains en creusant une tranchée. La police scientifique s'est rendue immédiatement sur place et a effectué des prélèvements à des fins d'analyse pour déterminer de quand datent ces restes humains. Selon des témoins, «il y avait plusieurs crânes et de nombreux ossements mais également de la poterie et on voyait tout de suite qu'ils étaient extrêmement anciens». Selon un spécialiste, «ces ossements pourraient être les vestiges d'un ancien cimetière romain et il n'est pas exclu qu'on en trouve d'autres», suppose notre interlocuteur. A noter que le chantier a pu reprendre normalement après l'intervention de la protection civile qui a procédé au ramassage de ces ossements ainsi que de la poterie découverts.
