(CNN) — A shoe belonging to a child and dating back more than 2,000 years has been unearthed in Austria with its laces still intact.The design of the leather shoe, whose size roughly corresponds to EU 30 (US 12), suggests it was likely made in the second century BC, according to the German Mining Museum Bochum-Leibniz Research Museum for Geo-resources.The shoe was excavated by archaeologists in the western village of Dürrnberg, where rock salt mining took place from as early as the Iron Age, it said in a recent news release.The salt, which is particularly good at preserving organic remains, is thought to have kept the shoe in extremely good condition.“Our research activities at Dürrnberg have been providing us with valuable finds for decades in order to scientifically explore the earliest mining activities. The condition of the shoe found is outstanding,” Professor Thomas Stoellner, head of the Research Department at the German Mining Museum, said in the news release.Excavation...Fall-like things to do in San Diego County this weekend

NEW YORK (AP) — Wall Street’s worst week in six months is closing out with a mixed finish on Friday. The S&P 500 was 0.1% higher in late trading, coming off an ugly slide caused by the stock market’s growing understanding that interest rates likely won’t come down much anytime soon. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was down 9 points, or less than 0.1%, at 34,061, as of 3:37 p.m. Eastern time, and the Nasdaq composite was 0.4% higher.Pressure has built on Wall Street as yields in the bond market climb to their highest levels in more than a decade. They’ve been rising for months and accelerated this week after the Federal Reserve indicated it’s unlikely to cut its main interest rate by as much in 2024 as investors had hoped. The federal funds rate is at its highest level since 2001, which grinds down on investment prices as it undercuts high inflation.Yields were easing a bit Friday, which reduced the pressure on the stock market. The yield on the 10-year Treasury slipped to...Latest news
