Why the Romans werenât quite as clean as you might have thought
Reading time: 5 minutes
Prior to the Romans, Greece was the only part of Europe to have had toilets. But by the peak of the Roman Empire in the 3rd century AD, the Romans had introduced sanitation to much of their domain, stretching across western and southern Europe, the Middle East and North Africa. Their impressive technologies included large multi-seat public latrines, sewers, clean water in aqueducts, elegant public baths for washing, and laws that required towns to remove waste from the streets. But how effective were these measures in improving the health of the population?
In a first discovery of its kind, researchers have uncovered an ancient Aboriginal archaeological site preserved on the seabed
Reading time: 6 minutes
For most of the human history of Australia, sea levels were much lower than they are today, and there was extra dry land where people lived. When people first arrived in Australia as early as 65,000 years ago, sea levels were around 80m lower than today.
Linguistics locates the beginnings of the Austronesian expansion â with Indigenous seafaring people in eastern Taiwan
Reading time: 5 minutes
The study of Indigenous languages spoken in maritime South-East Asia today has shed new light on the beginnings of the Austronesian expansion. This was the last major migration of people spreading out across the Pacific Ocean and, ultimately, settling Aotearoa. Scientists all agree that people speaking Austronesian languages started out from Taiwan and settled the Philippines around 4,000 years ago. They used sails as early as 2,000 years ago. Together with other maritime technologies, this allowed them to disperse to the islands of the Indo-Pacific ocean.
Are Aussie pubs really filled with tiles because itâs easier to wash off the pee? History has a slightly different story
Reading time: 6 minutes
You may have heard the myth that the six o’clock swill â and the excessive drinking it supported â led to the tiles which are so common in Australian pubs. According to architectural historian J.M. Freeland in his 1966 book, after this early closing time was introduced, pubs became âno more than high-pressure drinking-housesâ.
5,700 years of sea-level change in Micronesia hint at humans arriving much earlier than we thought
Reading time: 4 minutes
Sea levels in Micronesia rose much faster over the past 5,000 years than previously thought, according to our new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. This sea-level rise is shown by the accumulation of mangrove sediments on the islands of Pohnpei and Kosrae. The finding may change how we think about when people migrated into Remote Oceania, and where they might have voyaged from.
Auxiliary power: in wartime, Australian women fought germs, fired shells â and took on gender norms
Reading time: 5 minutes
Sheila Sibley enlisted in the Australian Army in 1942 with a vision of becoming a wartime nurse â âan angel of mercy, the wounded manâs guide ⌠the Rose of No-Manâs Landâ, in her own words. Many women wanted to âdo their bitâ during the second world war, and nursing had previously been the only avenue for women to join the military. They had historically been excluded from traditionally masculine roles within the armed forces.

Rediscovering a âlostâ Roman frontier from the air
Reading time: 5 minutes
Frontiers like Hadrianâs Wall are central to the study of the Roman Empire. By now we might expect to have discovered most such major landmarks. However, by scrutinising archives of aerial photography, we have been able to identify as Roman two more walls that will transform our understanding of the frontier of the Roman Empire in Eastern Europe.
