August 28th News (or lack of news)

The reason I haven't been posting in the last few days is that I can't find any stories to post. Everything that comes up today is about the Olympics, travel or the USA Democratic National Convention.

Even the archaeology.org website has no links to new stories from the Classical or medieval periods. At least not as of 9:45 AM.
