We are happy to announce that the editor of Turkish Archaeological News, Izabela Miszczak, has recently published a paper devoted to the secrets of the famous Plutonium in Hierapolis. It is is an attempt at organising the existing knowledge about the Plutonium of Hierapolis by providing the analysis of the written sources and then putting them in the wider cultural and religious context. The latest archaeological discoveries are discussed, and the possible interpretation of their results is provided. The paper has been accepted by the moderators of SocArXiv, an open archive of the social sciences. It is also available for the users of Academia.edu and ResearchGate platforms.
