Archaeologists in Estonia were surprised by the discovery of an unknown body of water at the Siuru dig site, while a burial site in El Salvador, preserved under 2,800-year-old ash, revealed a turtle-shaped vessel.

A large-scale archaeological dig is due to start by May at the latest, at the site of a major cultural center planned for central Tartu.

The Michelin Guide-recommended restaurant Toko in Tartu, Estonia, is slated for demolition to make way for the new Siuru cultural center, with construction expected before summer 2028.

Archaeologists excavating the future Siuru Cultural Center site in Tartu, Estonia, have discovered what may be the city's oldest building with a concrete cellar, along with other finds including a "miracle essence" bottle.
