EXPLORATOR is a free weekly newsletter bringing you the latest news of archaeological
finds, historical research and the like. Various on-line news and magazine sources are
scoured for news of 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! ================================================================
