In three days on Thursday, we will tour around the globe during the Middle Pleistocene and wil stop at Dalarik 1 cave Armenia. Please join the ride, drop us an email for a link

Our symposium on Middle Pleistocene behavioral variability with special focus on Dalarik-1 Cave (Armenia) is just a day away! Join us at📍Room 520, Mt. Scopus Campus, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, or 💻 online (via zoom)! See you all tomorrow @humendylab.bsky.social #TransCausd!

Less than two weeks until our symposium. Please drop me an email if you would like a zoom link

The session is co-organised by @dianamrczz.bsky.social, Thomas Beard and myself 😊

📢Deadline Extended📢 Final week of abstract submissions for EAA2026 and Session 178 - Cave Sediments as Archives of Human-Environment Dynamics: Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives on Geoarchaeology & Micro-contextual Research! We look forward to seeing you all in Athens!

@humendylab.bsky.social & #TransCause Project invite you to our symposium on Middle Pleistocene behavioral variability with special focus on Dalarik-1 Cave (Armenia)! 📍Room 520, Mt. Scopus Campus, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. 💻Also online (via zoom)! See you all there!

📢Do you work on the (micro-) geoarchaeology of cave sediments? Join our Session #178 at the EAA 2026 Annual Meeting in Athens (26–29 August 2026)! For further details, please scan the QR code below! Abstract submissions open on 19 December 2025! 📢

🎉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

📢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
