The New York Times has a really nice piece on Aphrodisias:

http://www.nytimes.com/library/national/science/082900sci-archaeo-turkey.html

The Lancet has a really interesting article on archaeological evidence for 
a successful Roman amputation (the site requires registration, but it's free):

The Independent has a touristy guide to Roman Britain which is pretty decent:

In what might have also qualified as big news, an Israeli court has ruled 
that a scholar does have copyright in regards to his restoration of a 
section of the Dead Sea Scrolls:

lost army in Egypt, and assorted other things:
