Prettiest workplace competition. Paste yours below 😊

Celebrating the opening of "The language of the goddesses" at Mamuz Asparn. It was a wonderful day!

Archaeology meets modern art in the exhibition’The language of the goddesses’, curated by Elisabeth von Samsonov and I. Looking forward to the opening on Saturday #MAMUZ Asparn!

One more week and we will open the exhibition “The language of the goddesses” at #Mamuz #Asparn. Elisabeth von Samsonov and I can’t wait to show how prehistoric figurines inspired modern art.

We are happy to share our pre-print on dating bone using a novel non-destructive protocol we developed. The paper is on the Biorxiv here (Luftensteiner et al. 2025): www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New book “Mothering in archaeology” has arrived, with the chapter “Iron Age Motherhood as Social Institution and Lived Practice” by yours truly. Check it out here: www.taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/1...

Another piece of the puzzle: here, we use peptide-based sexing for insights into gendered mobility. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Just a tiny bit envious of the Kiel university’s very own megalith grave on campus.

Bitte weiterleiten! Das Center Interdisziplinäre Geschlechterforschung Innsbruck #CGI besetzt eine Dissertationsstelle im Doktoratskolleg "Geschlechter und Geschlechterverhältnisse", Bewerbungsfrist ist 17. 4.2025: lfuonline.uibk.ac.at/public/karri...

Another great day at #KielScales25: sessions on human mobility, Neolithic seascapes, or architecture as a microuniverse of prehistoric societies, among others, followed by @rebaysalisbury.bsky.social's inspiring keynote speech ‘Sex, Gender and the Third Science Revolution’. Thans to all presenters!

»Can we find gender diversity in European prehistory?« This question will be explored by @rebaysalisbury.bsky.social today at 6 pm in the last #keynote of #KielScales25. She gave us a little preview. More tonight: events.kielconference25.smart-abstract.com#/event/83447 #genderarchaeology #diversity

In a few minutes the Roundtable: ”Unearthing Bias: Confronting Sexism in Archaeology“ starts at the #KielScales25 Conference. @rebaysalisbury.bsky.social has conducted a survey on this topic in German-speaking countries. #payetatruelle #archeosexisme #archaeosexism #diversity #uniwien 🏺

Check out our new article on gender archaeology doi.org/10.1017/S095.... Here, we test the chromosomal sex of Early Bronze Age individuals from Franzhausen and Gemeinlebarn that were not conforming to the dominant gendered burial practices.

The Great Viking Survey is the most extensive study ever conducted on global perceptions of the vikings and their world. Your voice matters: no matter who or where you are, every response counts! Take the survey, spread the word, and be part of this groundbreaking project at vikingsurvey.org!

Not your Venus. - Nach dem ersten Blick in den neuen #Archäologie #Comic von Ulli Lust vergangene Woche folgt hier nun meine etwas ausführlichere Rezension (Spoiler: ich bin immer noch ziemlich begeistert): 🏺 trowelandpen.com/2025/03/13/f...

The opening of the German version of the Archaeo-Sexism exhibition was a great success. Clearly, there is interest in overcoming sexism in archaeology. We can all be part of the change 🙂

Morgen geht es los! Die Archäo-Sexismus Ausstellung ist zwei Wochen in der Franz-Klein-Gasse zu besichtigen! uha.univie.ac.at/news-events/...

Happy new semester! Looking forward to teaching a new group today.

For all archaeologists & friends in Vienna: come around to @uhaunivienna.bsky.social on 6.3. 18:00! We present past female prehistorians & discuss strategies for the future w/ @rebaysalisbury.bsky.social @oeai.bsky.social

🦠 1/6 Big new study alert on old animal diseases! Team analyzed 346 ancient animal bones & teeth spanning 6,000 years across Eurasia, hunting for traces of ancient pathogens. Found 68 signatures, including some nasty zoonotic diseases we still deal with today! 🤢

Great to see some Copper Age burial caves in southern Spain with our amazing colleagues.

The Memories project’s workshop today in Sevilla is generating a lot of interest!

Diese Sauggefäße aus der #Bronzezeit / #Eisenzeit sind auch deswegen so faszinierend, weil sie Einblick in Eltern-Kind-Beziehungen jener Zeit gewähren. Hier ein lesenswertes Interview mit @rebaysalisbury.bsky.social über diese Forschung: 🏺 www.oeaw.ac.at/detail/news/... via @oeaw.bsky.social

Sounds familiar 😊

It may be a bit "inside baseball," but I'm wildly excited about the promise of palaeoproteomics -- not quite as much info as DNA, but can give us info from millions of years ago. This new paper out today shows they were able to figure out biological sex of an A. africanus specimen (2-3.5myo). 🏺🧪

„„Antifeministen berufen sich auf eine scheinbare evolutionäre Legitimation, Frauen zu unterdrücken“, sagt Rebay-Salisbury […] Studien wie jene aus Britannien zeigten, dass eine männlich dominierte Gesellschaft nicht selbstverständlich sei […]“ #Kelten #Genuntersuchung @rebaysalisbury.bsky.social

Wake up, babe -- new footprints from the Avellino eruption just dropped! 🏺🧪👣

Join us in two weeks! We will be launching our edited volume together with contributors and the president of the @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social Prof. Banffy! @rebaysalisbury.bsky.social @archaeologiskop.bsky.social @thehem.bsky.social @pennybickle.bsky.social @martaguardamino.bsky.social #archaeology

Great @us.theconversation.com piece in which @prehistorian.bsky.social not only discusses the recent #aDNA 🏺🧬 evidence of #IronAge #matrilocality in Dorset (SW England), but also the whole 165+ year old archaeological debate about #matriarchal societies: theconversation.com/ancient-dna-...

Wie lebten Menschen unterschiedlicher Herkunft im Niederösterreich des 8. Jhs zusammen? Ein Forschungsprojekt von @oeaw.bsky.social @nhmwien.bsky.social und @univie.ac.at untersuchte zwei Gräberfelder aus der Awarenzeit. Das überraschende Ergebnis gibt's hier ⤵️ www.youtube.com/watch?v=qS9S...

Bis Ende Jänner könnt Ihr Euch noch an unserer "Sexismus in der Archäologie" Umfrage beteiligen! Wir sammeln Fallbeispiele und Stimmen aus dem deutschsprachigen Raum. www.umfrageonline.com/c/quruyhze

At last we can break this story on @tcddublin.bsky.social and @bournemouthuni.bsky.social research work on Iron Age DNA and rewriting the story of the Durotriges !!!!! 👇👇👇👇 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

www.nature.com/articles/s41... What a rich feast of a paper from @durotrigesdig.bsky.social and Lara Cassidy at Trinity College Dublin! New Iron Age ancient human genomes from Dorset as well as major squeeze of juice from published data.

Coming soon: www.mamuz.at/de/mamuz-sch...

Proud that three of my MA students presented a poster at the ÖGUF poster competition! Check out the work of Hannah Skerjanz, Ika Verdianu and Jennifer Portschy 😊
