Archeologists have discovered more ancient cave art in Italy, more than 100 years after the first images were discovered there.

TORONTO -- Archeologists have discovered more ancient cave art in Italy, more than 100 years after the first images were discovered there in 1905.

Past excavation of the cave has found deposits of animal bones, a small quantity of human bones, and several portable art objects – including stone fragments that may have fallen from the ceiling or walls. The art in the main chamber is located up high in a frieze, while the inner chamber’s art is located in two small alcoves on the walls.

Birds were not frequently depicted in Paleolithic art, according to the journal, making the find particularly significant. Details in the piece, including three short lines close to the eye of the figure, resemble the coloured stripe of feathers grown by the now-extinct great auk during winter. Archeologists had to be exceptionally careful due to the art’s poor state of preservation, using photography and enhanced image editing software to avoid direct contact with the rock surface.

Protest in solidarity with Afghan womenProtesters gathered outside the Vancouver Art Gallery Saturday to show support for women in Afghanistan. That's great but we have issues at home too. Homelessness is now at critical levels and ignored by Trudeau while he has a photo op with an Afghanistani family. I'm betting none of that family is living in a tent or hut in Canada...so why are Canadians?
