A single gold earring found in a burned Iron Age settlement in Iberia was hidden by its owners more than 2,000 years ago, perhaps to keep it safe from invaders under Hannibal during the Second Punic War.
Archaeologists found the earring in the scorched remnants of a two-story building, along with more than 1,000 fragments of pottery, tools for weaving, and the burned remains of sheep, goats and a horse.
