Discovery of Prehistoric Hunting Traps in Europe
Archaeologists have uncovered four large, funnel-like hunting traps on the Karst Plateau, located on the border of Slovenia and Italy.
The traps, made up of stone walls leading to an enclosed pit, were discovered using airborne laser scanning surveys conducted by researchers from the University of Ljubljana and the Institute for the Protection of the Cultural Heritage of Slovenia.
- The walls are made of stacked limestone pieces.
- They range in length from 550 yards to two miles long.
- The walls measure between three and five feet wide.
- Estimates suggest the walls once stood under three feet tall.
The researchers note that the structures were built into the landscape to take advantage of natural formations such as cliffs.
