Excavation season at Abric Romaní is over! 🏺 This year we found few remains and lots of dirt digging for the next level. Next year there’ll be more 👀 Thanks to everyone for the amazing work! 💪🔥

Cannibalism in Neolithic Atapuerca? 💀🔬 Our latest study reveals clear evidence of a new cannibalistic event among farming communities at El Mirador cave. A fascinating glimpse into prehistoric life... and death. www.nature.com/articles/s41... @palmirasaladie.bsky.social @whiterabbit36.bsky.social

A Child Decapitated 850,000 Years Ago: New Evidence of Prehistoric Cannibalism at Atapuerca 🏺🧪 comunicacio.iphes.cat/eng/news/new... “This case is particularly striking, not only because of the child’s age, but also due to the precision of the cut marks,” says @palmirasaladie.bsky.social

¿A alguna arqueóloga le interesa un contrato de 5 meses para prospectar un término municipal almeriense durante lo que queda de año?

Según explica Palmira Saladié (@palmirasaladie.bsky.social), a partir del Neolítico, con la llegada de la agricultura, el canibalismo aumenta. #EvoluciónYNeurociencias25

Si crees que hoy los inmigrantes y los okupas son el principal problema, es bastante probable que en los años 30 hubieras pensado que los judíos y los masones eran el principal problema.

Guess who's coming to dinner… New evidence for #Magdalenian #cannibalism from #MaszyckaCave near Kraków, 18,000 years ago: 🏺 www.science.org/content/arti... by @spoke32.bsky.social via @science.org 💀 CN: Couple gruesome details on, well, human consumption.

🏺 Great write up of this complicated topic. I'd merely add its *our* perception that treating human bodies in the same way as consumed animal bodies was necessarily an act of violence or disdain, because it assumes that hunting, butchering & eating other creatures is primarily about calories.

New research on Paleolithic cannibalism by @cescmarginedas.bsky.social @palmirasaladie.bsky.social @whiterabbit36.bsky.social & others suggests it was widespread across Europe at the end of the last Ice Age – and that people were probably eating friends and enemies alike. @science.org

Excited to share our new paper on human cannibalism during the Magdalenian period! 🏚️💀 Featuring new insights from Maszycka Cave (Poland). #Archaeology #Prehistory #Anthropology @palmirasaladie.bsky.social @whiterabbit36.bsky.social Available here: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

The workshop started with @palmirasaladie.bsky.social, as international guest speaker, from @iphes-cerca.bsky.social. She talked about Prehistoric human cannibalism, including the examples from #Atapuerca sites @fatapuerca.bsky.social. Thank you! It's been a huge pleasure having you here!

1st up we have @palmirasaladie.bsky.social "Prehistoric human cannibalism. The Atapuerca sites examples" - what evidence is needed to confirm #cannibalism? How can we distinguish between processing & consumption? & the different biological & social routes to & reasons for it?
