Analysis: DNA study opens a window into African civilisations that left a lasting legacy
PhD candidate Nancy Bird (UCL Genetics Institute) describes in The Conversation how her genetics research reveals evidence of the migrations of ancient people across Africa, and other major events of the past, embedded in the genomes of today's inhabitants. Pre-colonial African history is alive with tales of civilisations rising and falling and of different cultures intermingling across the continent.

21st century methods to record 2,000 years of ancient graffiti in Egypt
Simon Fraser researchers are learning more about ancient graffiti-and their intriguing comparisons to modern graffiti-as they produce a state-of-the-art 3D recording of the Temple of Isis in Philae, Egypt. Working with the University of Ottawa, the researchers published their early findings in Egyptian Archaeology and have returned to Philae to advance the project.
