Newly arrived and soon-to-depart members of Expedition 73 prepared for what is to come next during this, their final week all together aboard the International Space Station.

The eggs were discovered near the remains of a campfire believed to have been connected to prehistoric desert nomads who collected, cooked, and ate the eggs at the site. A cache of ostrich eggs dated from approximately 7,000-years-ago was discovered at an archaeological site near Nitzana in southern Israel, the Israel Antiquities Authority (IAA) said in a Sunday social media post.

The discovery was made in an ancient shipwreck in the Dor Lagoon near the Carmel Coast, where archaeologists recovered nine pieces of unprocessed iron known as “blooms. ” Researchers from the University of Haifa said Wednesday that an underwater excavation off Israel’s northern Mediterranean coast uncovered what they described as the earliest known cargo of raw iron transported by ship, dating back around 2,600 years, Xinhua reported.
