A Possible Case of Child Abuse at the Early Urban Centre of Tell Brak, NE Syria

open access: yesInternational Journal of Osteoarchaeology, Volume 36, Issue 3, Page 768-774, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Child abuse is rarely identified in skeletal remains from archaeological contexts, as its diagnosis remains a significant challenge. Due to that, case studies of child abuse are rare in the literature. Here, we discuss a 6–9‐month‐old infant from Late Chalcolithic (c. 4200–3900 bce) Tell Brak, Syria, who exhibited several signs consistent with

Living by the lake: Plant food diversity in a prehistoric lake‐dwelling community in the Republic of North Macedonia

open access: yesArchaeometry, Volume 68, Issue S2, Page S47-S68, May 2026.
Abstract This paper explores the relationship between wetland ecosystems and prehistoric lakeshore settlements within the Lake Ohrid basin (a biodiversity hotspot) by considering plant food systems at Ploča Mičov Grad, North Macedonia. The mid‐fifth millennium (c.4555–4373 to 4437–4241 cal BCE) waterlogged assemblage contained a diverse spectrum of ...

Copper Contact for Perovskite Solar Cells: Properties, Interfaces, and Scalable Integration

open access: yesAdvanced Energy and Sustainability Research, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2026.
Copper electrodes, as low‐cost, scalable contacts for perovskite solar cells, offer several advantages over precious metals such as Au and Ag, including performance, cost, deposition methods, and interfacial engineering. Copper (Cu) electrodes are increasingly considered practical, sustainable alternatives to noble‐metal contacts in perovskite solar ...

Digital Spatial Technologies to Compose the Map of the Southeast Iberia Megalithic Phenomenon. The Case Study of Fonelas (Granada, Spain)

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, Volume 33, Issue 1, Page 257-273, January/March 2026.
ABSTRACT Megalithic landscapes in Southeast Iberia remain unevenly and insufficiently documented, particularly in rugged areas where traditional survey methods are limited. This paper addresses this gap by applying a multiscalar approach to the megalithic necropolises of the Fardes River (Granada, Spain), with the objective of detecting, documenting ...
