      Yeah, it is even a bit funny that nothing in the actual text of the article supports the headline, either in the form of a quote from one of the archaeologists or the kind of finds that they list (a room, a well, an enclosure and a graveyard), of which none really qualifies as solid evidence of social and religious hubs.

      But since the article was written by the university itself, I guess they just wanted to sensationalise the finds a bit for the layperson.

        Also “Stuff dug up at ancient monastery” doesn’t catch the attention quite so well.
