This week we have three great archaeology news stories! First up, archaeologists have excavated a royal purple dye workshop in Greece. Then, excavations at an early colonial Incan cometary give insight into how small pox affected the community. And finally, perfectly preserved cherry bottles have been found in a cellar at Mount Vernon.
