Prehistoric megastructures reveal large-scale hunting networks
An airborne laser survey on the Karst Plateau of the Adriatic hinterland has led to the discovery of previously unknown dry-stone megastructures. The results of the study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), has identified four megastructures – designated K01, K02, K03, and K04 – using airborne laser scanning (ALS) across an area of roughly 870 square kilometres. The structures are characterised by funnel-sha…
Slovenian archaeologists have made an extraordinary discovery in the Karst - several kilometers long stone structures that prehistoric communities used for mass hunting. According to the authors of the research, Dimitrij Mlekuž Vrhovnik and Tomaž Fabec, this is one of the largest prehistoric architectures of its kind in Europe.
Large-scale prehistoric hunting structures in Europe
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences—Researchers report evidence of large-scale prehistoric hunting structures, likely built before the Bronze Age, in the Adriatic hinterland. Dimitrij Mlekuž Vrhovnik and Tomaž Fabec used airborne laser scanning to identify four prehistoric hunting structures on Europe’s Karst Plateau. The structures—comparable to the “desert kites” of arid Southwest Asia and... Read more »
