Article Synopsis
- Recent research in the southern Carpathian Basin has identified a large network of enclosed settlements from the later Bronze Age, particularly focusing on the Tisza Site Group (TSG).
- The study employs a multi-method approach, including satellite imagery and ground surveys, to analyze how these sites were organized and utilized.
- Findings suggest that the TSG shared a distinct cultural understanding of space, with different activities coexisting within the same enclosed areas, indicating a complex social structure and subsistence practices.
Article Synopsis
- - Plant-parasitic nematodes negatively impact global food security by secreting effectors that manipulate host plants' biology, suppress immune responses, and create feeding structures for nutrition.
- - Researchers have identified and characterized the effector repertoire of the cyst nematode Heterodera schachtii, discovering 717 effector gene loci that include both known and novel effectors with high expression in gland cells.
- - This study provides the most comprehensive effector catalog for any plant-parasitic nematode, enhancing our understanding of nematode pathology and paving the way for improved crop protection strategies.
The burial of metals in hoards is a trademark phenomenon of prehistoric Europe that may be counterintuitive to perceptions of value nowadays. For the first time here, we establish detailed biographies of a large corpus of hoarded metal objects, providing new insights into how societies in the second millennium BC engaged with their convertible material wealth. We move beyond previous research on prehistoric hoarding commonly focussing on separate questions such as what was placed in hoards, who selected the objects, what were the origins of materials, and where and when they were buried.
