A HELLENISTIC CULT SITE FOUND AT CAVE IN CILENTO In a cave in southern Italy, archaeologists sifted through a muddy riverbed normally submerged by the turquoise waters of an underground river. A dull brown artifact caught their attention — and revealed traces of cult activity 2,000 years ago. The Pertosa-Auletta Caves are a popular tourist site with two claims to fame: Italy’s only navigable underground river and Europe’s only preserved remains of an underground Bronze Age village. Underground river hid traces of 2,000-year-old cult — until now. See finds in Italy | Miami Herald
