After the disaster of the Annual Meeting #EAA2025Belgrade, the members of the EAA need to regain control of the association. We call on all @archaeologyEAA members to support our petition requesting a Special Meeting to address this matter. Join us! forms.gle/cTp7BXiUD1qC...

Does anyone know how many sessions or speakers were cancelled during the EAA?

Considering the EAA’s contradictory statements and its position of holding volunteers responsible for limiting free speech, shaming the professional class, I will not present this year, will not renew my membership, and call for the Executive Board’s resignation.

We have now launched tickets for our 2025 weekends at Butser Ancient Farm on Sat 12th – Sun 13th July 2025 and Sat 16th – Sun 17th August 2025. Full details and further information can be found on the booking page here www.lithics.org/events/butse...

This has turned up where we didn't expect it (But from NW Europe). We cant find an exact typological match but we are sure someone out there must know a good typological match?? 🏺🦣

In a study of professors, women got 378 new work requests over 4 weeks vs 118 for men. Women spent more time on service, advising & teaching; men on research. Orgs should track who is taking extra duties & ensure they are rewarded and distributed fairly. www.forbes.com/sites/kimels...

Had the pleasure of joining the II Workshop of the MULTIPALEOIBERIA ERC Project at Univ. of Alcalá. Great to finally meet colleagues I only knew through their work & socials. 👩‍💻Thanks to Manuel Alcaraz Castaño for the kind invitation and such a rich exchange of ideas!

2 days of field survey and my body is dead… clearly I am not in my 20’s anymore… it doesn’t matter how great your skin can look like, how young people perceive you (sometimes a course.. condescending much…), your back will always bring some humility back to you.

The press release of #Pink @iphes-cerca.bsky.social was an emotional and profound moment for all of us privileged to watch it from the front line. We were living a historical moment in the study of human evolution. Elena’s restoration work was crucial, valued and deserves all the recognition 🫶👏

New paper lead by @iphes-cerca.bsky.social researchers presenting the Homo aff. erectus. It is a great privilege and a source of motivation to work so close to the best of the best! Congratulations to the team! We are all so proud and glad to celebrate you and your work. Welcome to the family Pink!

📢📢📢📢 Mañana 12 de marzo, a las 17:00, presentamos junto con el @iphes_cerca el estudio de un importante hallazgo que se realizó en el yacimiento de la Sima del Elefante (Sierra de Atapuerca) Podéis seguir el evento en directo en el Canal del CENIEH en YouTube 👇👇👇👇👇👇 youtube.com/live/z1XX3jX...

📆 SAVE THE DATE! This time you can’t say we didn’t warn you. Here are the dates and venue for our next LSS conference. More info to come soon. Follow @lithicstudiessoc.bsky.social to be updated 👇

Today, we celebrate women's rights! At VCWAP, we take action for a more inclusive research world. For the last three days, we spotlighted 98 women researchers and paleoartists. Thank you for being part of this journey! #womeninscience #womensday #internationalwomensday

Last day of the #VCWAP2025 ! If you still don’t, I invite you to follow our page to keep up with the association during the rest of the year 🙂

Today I am at my Alma mater, the university of Porto, where I did my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in archaeology between 2007 - 2012. This time I am here as an invited speaker with different generations of peers on a workshop celebrating 50years of democracy.

And the roundtable has just started! @women-archeopal.bsky.social

And we are live on the 2nd day of the 5th VCWAP Full programme on the AWAP website @women-archeopal.bsky.social

Na próxima sexta-feira, dia 7 de março, tenho o prazer de estar muito bem acompanhada no workshop "Educação, Arqueologia e Democracia", que terá lugar na Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto. Muito obrigada à organização - Drs. Cristina Gameiro, Sérgio Gomes e Ana Vale - pelo convite.

Have you registered yet? Registration is free but mandatory if you want to participate :) It is just a few clicks away and we will send you all the info you need to access the conference platforms.

Recently @unesco.org launched the Open and Inclusive Science Hub. The AWAP was contacted to feature the VCWAP on a list of examples of good practices. We are so honoured for the recognition! Now, if you have projects within the scope, you can submit it on their platform. Check their webpage link👇

At AWAP, we do not just organise the VCWAP each year, sometimes we also do outreach work at schools and we wish we had more time to do everything we plan and discuss in the background.

The International Day of Women and Girls in Science is always a bittersweet one: it is time for awareness of the benefits of gender equality to advance science, but when we are promoting scientific careers... what careers are those?

when the stars align and, by chance, all your co-authors happen to be in the same city at the same time? If we had agreed to meet, it wouldn't have worked. I sense 2 very productive weeks ahead at the IPH! :D

📣The preliminary programme is out! Don't forget that although attending the conference is free for everyone, registration is still mandatory. Check out the page below for the links👇

Extended deadline! Any last minute submissions can be postponed until Monday the 10th 😜

🤩This #Friday, we are excited to announce the 5th VCWAP program! 🌟 The full program is now available on our official website ⬇️ awap-science.org/en/vcwap-2025/ #conference #program #archeology #paleontology

a few years ago @joanavaldez.bsky.social and I presented a poster at the 1st @women-archeopal.bsky.social Though the poster has been available on ResearchGate for a while, we had some people asking for a doi to cite it so we have finally uploaded it to Zenodo zenodo.org/records/1423...

We want to introduce you to Ines Uribe, who has recently joined our Social Media Team. Ines will be the voice of the 5th VCWAP and will take care of live communications during the conference. Welcome to the team!🥳🙌

after 4 months of weekly travelling between Spain and Portugal, I am finally more than 1 week in the same place! I decided to work from home the 1st week of the year and my stress and anxiety levels dropped considerably. These 2 are the reason why! 💜

First announcement of the year! We are preparing a session on human adaptations at the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula. You can find the abstract below. Feel free to contact any of us or check the #EAA webpage for more info.

I was away from my computer for 2 full weeks for the first time in my life! I must admit I was sneakpeaking my personal email almost every day. But that will be a problem to solve next year’s holiday season. I am proud and I feel reenergised. Happy New Year everyone! ✨

Would actually watch any of these…

As a tiny action to encourage the spread of evidence-based thinking, I'm providing free access to the Science Communication Fundamentals chapter of my book Building Science Graphics (incl links to the work of many thoughtful people) 🧪📊 #SciArt #SciComm www.buildingsciencegraphics.com/science-comm...

People moving here during the x-odus: have you deleted the other account? (I still haven’t..). Is there a way to save old posts or should I just forget about them and let go?

Guess who might not get home tomorrow 😮‍💨

Last week I went back to the primary school that invited me a couple of weeks ago to talk to a group of students that were curious to meet a real archaeologist. Once the word spread all of them wanted to participate. 1 group activity turned out into 2 visits for 3 groups!

📣 🏺 A Palaeolithic #Archaeology & Human Origins people starter pack! Nearly 80 people here, if you work in these fields and want to be added, let me know (I'm keeping the list to trained/ qualified professional/academic/researchers etc at the moment) go.bsky.app/6hXVX57

We have 2 temporary positions open at AWAP! More info here👇 -Website Developer: drive.google.com/file/d/1Ct9G... -Social Media Assistant: drive.google.com/file/d/1xrGC...

I guess the time has come for me to finally make the transfer to this app. Hi again ! 👋

EAA Annual Meeting Call for Papers is open and we would like to invite you to our session #1113 dedicated to lithic studies. This year there are changes in submission rules. Only oral presentations are associated with a session. deadline is February 8th. Check out our session details bellow 👇

When I was writing my PhD I lost the will to read for pleasure. My eyes were tired of words and symbols. Nowadays I can only read when I am on holiday or feel relaxed instead of reading to have a chill time. But I never stopped buying books. They just sit there for a little longer... Anyone else?

The deadline for Paleoart is extended until the 15th of December! Check out the submission guidelines on the #VCWAP webpage (awap-science.org/en/2024-eng-2/)

Hi! So let’s see if this blue thing takes off or is just like when everyone was moving from WhatsApp to Signal🙃 at least here my names was not yet taken ! 💪💪❤️
