🎉New article by our doctoral researcher Dominik Rogall on the paleoenvironment of Kalavan‐2 (MP; 60-35ka) based on small‐vertebrate assemblages! 🎉Published in the Journal of Quaternary Science! Check this out: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

New article from our doctoral researcher @norarch.bsky.social is out! Check it out!!! 🎉🎉🎉

The first week of excavations and stratigraphic documentation at Dalarik-1 Cave was very successful! The trip to Kalavan village - and the homonymous Palaeolithic sites - was the best treat for a day-off! A stop at Gutanasar volcano was a must! @humendylab.bsky.social #TransCause

Volcanos, glacial lakes, #Kalavan, and new friends #Armenia @humendylab.bsky.social

Back to Armenia, back to Dalarik-1 Cave, with a large international team from Armenia, Spain, Israel, Greece, France, Portugal, Italy & beyond! Let the excavation of this unique Middle Pleistocene site start! 🎉 #TransCause @humendylab.bsky.social

Here we are! #TransCause team in Armenia @humendylab.bsky.social
