Neolithic treasure bust
Two Greeks were arrested after being found with a
5,000-year-old collection of 31 unique Neolithic clay statuettes in their car. Police said they detained the two men during a highway patrol check along the country's main north-south highway. Archaeologists said 20 of the clay female figurines were intact and all are believed to have been stolen from digs in the Achaia region of the Peloponnese. AP - Athens
