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…
