CNN —Thousands of ancient butchered human bones found in a deep shaft in southwest England have pointed archaeologists to a grim chapter of British prehistory that occurred during the Early Bronze Age. There, researchers unearthed piles of buried human bones, mixed in with cattle bones, that told the story of mass violence striking an ancient community. What’s more, the extreme manner in which the remains were handled is beyond what Schulting and his colleagues have seen from remains of ancient animals who were butchered. “The location itself may be the common denominator; the natural shaft and large underlying cave system inviting comparisons with a portal to the underworld,” the study authors wrote. The researchers don’t believe the people were killed as food due to starvation, given the abundant amount of cattle bones found mixed in with the human bones.

For the previous study, the team measured the amount of manganese antioxidants in the cells of the bacteria. The researchers found that the amount of radiation that a microorganism could survive was directly related to its amount of manganese antioxidants. So the more manganese antioxidants present, the more resistance to radiation. This antioxidant has been used in radiation-inactivated polyvalent vaccines, which rely on radiation to shut down pathogens like chlamydia. The study team analyzed how MDP’s active components, including manganese, phosphate and a peptide called DP1, protect cells and proteins from radiation exposure.

The bull market will continue into 2025, according to Piper Sandler, and this time it will be led by gains in small caps. "We see compelling technical evidence suggesting that this bull market has room to continue thriving on skepticism and expanding further 'down-cap' throughout the upcoming year," Piper Sandler chief market technician and chart analyst Craig Johnson wrote Wednesday. Historically, the third year of a bull market typically sees the S & P 500 return 5.2% on average, while small caps usually register double-digit returns, Johnson added. The chart analyst's view comes as the S & P 500 climbed on Wednesday following a November consumer inflation report that matched expectations . Piper Sandler is not alone in its forecast of small-cap outperformance moving forward.
