    EXPLORATOR is a free weekly newsletter bringing you the latest
    news of archaeological finds, historical research and the like.

    the 'ancient world' (broadly construed: practically anything relating
    to archaeology or history up to a century or so ago is fair
    game) and every Sunday they are delivered to your mailbox free of
    charge!
