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

📢New research paper, led by Theo Karampaglidis & colleagues, integrates geomorphological mapping & sediment analysis & dating (Cosmogenic Nuclides & OSL) to reconstruct environmental history over the past 900,000 years in Ararat Depression! Open access: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our new study lead produced enhanced paleo‑geomorphological mapping of the Ararat Depression to decode how shifting landforms shaped human movement and settlement in the Late Pleistocene doi.org/10.1016/j.qu... @humendylab.bsky.social @arikmalinsky-b.bsky.social @yannismicrooikon.bsky.social

Back on the banks of Wabe rover in the Ethiopian highlands, excavating MW1.

Our merged session "Humans and Landscape Evolution: Past, Present and Future" in the #EGU2025 is now completed! HUMENDYLAB was there with an oral talk by @arikmalinsky-b.bsky.social & 2 posters by M.Goder-Goldberger & @yannismicrooikon.bsky.social ! Many congrats to all presenters and conveners!

HUMENDY LAB in #SAA2025Denver!

Great times in the Annual Meeting of the Paleoanthropology Society, at Denver, Colorado (US). HUMENDY LAB was there with talks by @arikmalinsky-b.bsky.social, @norarch.bsky.social and a poster by @yannismicrooikon.bsky.social! See you in the next one! #TransCauseProject
