And from the AIA newsletter, I found a new (as in, "previously unbeknownst to me" XD) source for archaeology headlines— and it already has a feed on DW! archaeologynews_feed "Archaeological news from around the world is updated on [the] website by 1 P.M. ET every weekday!"

Here are the links for this week's headlines. As there are multiple headlines per day I think it will be easier to just list the daily links (and if it would make your reading pages more tidy, I can omit this particular feed from these updates and you can just add the feed to your reading page; let me know what you think in the comments):
