The image appears to be a scanned page from a book or a scrapbook, featuring two newspaper articles.
The top article, from "The Harvard Crimson" dated January 4, 1972, is titled "Archaeological Find: Herodotus's Wall." It discusses the discovery of what may be walls described by the ancient Greek historian Herodotus. The article includes a photograph of a stone block with inscriptions that are believed to be of Lydian writing, and it mentions the involvement of a Harvard-Cornell expedition in Sardis, Turkey. The text indicates that the stone was donated to the expedition by a local boy. It also provides additional information about Sardis, including its historical significance.
The bottom article, dated Thursday, February 3, 1972, from "The Cambridge Chronicle," is titled "Artifacts Become Art In David Smith's Works." This article discusses an exhibition at the Fogg Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts, featuring freestanding metal sculptures by David Smith. The article includes a photograph of the sculptures on display, which seem to be abstract and geometric in nature. The text provides details about the exhibition, mentioning the dates and location.
Both articles are historical documents, likely part of a collection or archive, and they provide insights into archaeological discoveries and contemporary art exhibitions.

This image shows an open, aged scrapbook page containing two newspaper clippings from early 1972, glued onto a beige, slightly yellowed paper background. The scrapbook appears well-used, with visible wear along the spine and edges.
The top clipping is from The Harvard Crimson, dated January 4, 1972. It features the headline: "Archaeological Find: Herodotus’s Wall". The article details the discovery of two ancient walls at the acropolis of Sardis, Turkey, matching the description of the historian Herodotus (464-425 B.C.). The expedition was a joint Harvard-Cornell effort, and the article mentions Professor Andrew Ramage and Professor George Hanfmann. A small black-and-white photograph shows a large, inscribed stone fragment, captioned: "A local village boy graciously donated this stone to a Harvard-Cornell expedition in Turkey last year. The inscription may significantly add to our knowledge of Lydian writing." A small text box to the right, titled "Sardis", continues the story from another page, discussing further archaeological finds.
The bottom clipping is from the Cambridge Chronicle, dated Thursday, February 3, 1972. The headline reads: "Artifacts Become Art In David Smith’s Works". It announces an exhibition of freestanding metal sculptures by artist David Smith, described as a "pioneer in his field," at the Fogg Art Museum. A black-and-white photograph shows several of Smith’s abstract, angular metal sculptures displayed in a museum gallery. The caption below the photo specifies: "AT THE FOGG MUSEUM: Freestanding metal sculpture by David Smith, pioneer in his field, is on view at the Fogg Art Museum, 32 Quincy st., through February 13." A small, partially cut-off text box to the far right appears to contain a museum note about opening hours.
The two articles are from different publications and cover unrelated topics — ancient archaeology and modern art — but are presented together on the same page. The arrangement suggests a personal or thematic collection, perhaps by someone interested in both history and contemporary culture. The physical condition of the materials indicates they are archival items.
