Happy and honoured to share this paper with @ercrema.bsky.social about pottery in Early Holocene Africa! Check out more in the thread!

#SAFA 25 just ended... amazing week meeting friends and colleagues...thanks to all!

Today, the 25th of April, in Italy 🇮🇹 we celebrate the #Liberation from NaziFascism. We celebrate to remember the people of the resistance, we celebrate to remember that we kicked fascists' asses once and we can do it again.

All this ⬇️ "It sounds ridiculous to say such things. It sounds unbelievable even to me. But it is where we are and the sooner we accept it, the sooner we can organise to change it." 🧪
