The unsealing of 1,600 peer review reports from the 1940s to 1950s by the UK Royal Society offers unprecedented insight into early scientific discussions, showcasing a more informal peer review process that focused on dialogue rather than just publishing papers. Louisiane Ferlier emphasizes that this era viewed peer review as a genuine exchange of ideas, contrasting sharply with the structured, management-driven approach that emerged later in the 1970s.
The groundbreaking collaboration between geophysicists and archeologists led to the discovery of a burial site directly under Petra's Treasury building. Researchers identified twelve skeletal remains alongside grave artifacts, potentially dating back to the height of the Nabataean civilization. This finding not only enhances our understanding of historical burial practices but also contributes to the knowledge of a society renowned for its architectural feats. The excavation confirms the existence of previously assumed but undocumented funerary customs.
