Ireland just released a report showing the huge success of the unconditional basic income it provided to artists. Each $1 spent led to society gaining $1.39. Artists' earned incomes went up more than their side job incomes fell. And they were happier and used less welfare www.gov.ie/en/departmen...

Côte Sauvage, Quiberon in Bretagne is full of silex, at least in one area. All pebbles, no modification. Could be original, could be from external sand used to make the walking path? Does anyone know? Or close silex sources? (Every flint put back on point of origin)

Kerzéro, Neolithic Megalith at Erdeven, Bretagne. Before the road construction there were around 1000 stones, stretching over 2 km.

Any prehistoric and geomorphological must-sees in Brittany/Bretagne that you would recommend?

Our paper about Edo|cation by MOWAA and @dai-weltweit.bsky.social is out. We report the current condition of the Iya around Benin City, locate a gate, describe UAV based method for monitoring and propose steps to preserve the remaining 48%. Uwese to the team! doi.org/10.1007/s104...

I got the book and have to retract my enthusiasm. The text is fine, gaining much from the direct input of the researchers. The illustrations are AI generated I think and it's not even stated.

Looked at Nigerias new digital museum. It's really impressiv and works well. Abundant objects, detailed information, audio guides, beautiful design. Great work by NCMM, IHS Nigeria and all involved.

The CRC 806 ended 2021. One of the outcomes is a children's book by Cornelia Ziegler, out now. One of the rich illustrations shows our camp at Sodicho Cave, Ethiopia. Compare to my photos. Amazing site, now a piece of art for children. Love it. www.aibo-publishing.de/kind-and-jug...

In the course of a year I visited Marrakesh in Marocco and Sevilla in Spain. Fascinating to see the 12th century connections, similarities, development and admixture of architecture styles till 19th century. So much history and complex processes of exchange in the material.

Today I took no pictures from the lectures at #SAfA2025. Instead some impressions from my commute to the conference and the new postcard from Planet Africa exhibition.

Hello #SAfA2025. Thanks to @icarehb.bsky.social for the nice Welcome. Looking forward to the presentations starting tomorrow.

Obrigado!

Auch hier zeigt sich mal wieder: Wissenschaft ist eine soziale Tätigkeit und einfach besser gemeinsam als individualistisch einsam. Gegenseitig Texte lesen und besprechen oder gleich gemeinsam schreiben hilft mir auch enorm, mir beim Schreiben nicht so sehr selbst im Weg zu stehen.

this is great! the cognitive revolution stuff was always just a hypothesis based on eurocentrism. the data from Africa & Asia, have long disproved it. Good to see more EU data doing so as well

Over the last years it became obvious that humans adapted to almost all environments and survived. Dry spells, no problem. Tropical forests, fine. High altitude, good. Glaciers, yay. No "windows of opportunity" necessary. Does it mean we don't need anymore climate models in archaeology? 1/2

In @nature.com we show that humans lived in rainforests ~150,000 years ago – over double the previous oldest estimate. Their presence in West Africa’s rainforests demonstrates the spread of early humans and places ecological diversity at the heart of our species. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
