August 11, 2023 / 10:36 AMwhat may be one of Europe's earliest sedentary communities, and are trying to solve the mystery of why it sheltered behind a fortress of defensive spikes.
Swiss Ambassador Ruth Huber visited the excavations in July because she"wanted to be informed personally and on the spot about the research," Hafner's team said in a The settlement is believed to have been home to between 200 and 500 people, with houses built on stilts above the lake's surface or in areas regularly flooded by rising waters.
Analysis of the tree rings helps the team reconstruct the daily life of the area's inhabitants — providing"valuable insights into the climatic and environmental conditions" from the period, said Albanian archaeologist Adrian Anastasi."In order to understand the structure of this prehistoric site without damaging it, we are conducting very meticulous research, moving very slowly and very carefully," added Anastasi, who heads the team of Albanian researchers.

Ancient craters disappearing, hindering scientists' understanding of Earth's historyA new study reveals that Earth's oldest craters, which provide valuable insights into the early history of our planet, are vanishing due to heavy erosion. This loss of evidence is hindering scientists' ability to understand how life persisted on Earth. Despite efforts, there is little that can be done to prevent the disappearance of these ancient craters.

Scientists Investigate Other Factors Contributing to Earth's Rising TemperaturesScientists are exploring the possibility that global warming and El Nino are not the sole causes of this summer's unprecedented heat. They are now examining the impact of sulfur pollution on cloud formation, which used to make clouds brighter and more reflective. However, recent observations suggest that this interaction is occurring less frequently. Researchers are focusing on shipping routes in the North Atlantic and North Pacific, which have experienced particularly high temperatures this summer.
