Going on in time, we also visited the very interesting #UpperPalaeolithic site of Val de Boi, as well as the Museu de Vila do Bispo. Thank you so much @ICArEHB & Museu for welcoming & introducing us to the #palaeolithic #archaeology of the #Algarve 🫶🏻 #excursion

Like always #HOG2025 combines a variety of fields and topics from #Palaeolithic #Research🤓 Now very excited to listen to a piece on #researchhistory of the #Iberianpeninsula & Hugo Obermaiers pioneering research on Levantine #Art in Spain. #conference #archaeology #paleolithicart #upperpalaeolithic

As #HOG2025 at #UAlg #ICArEHB in #Faro is proceeding, we are moving forward in time - this morning starts with fantastic #UpperPalaeolithic presentations. Despite the early morning the room is crowded, excited to hear the latest news about #Palaeolithic #Archaeology!

The 2nd half of Day 2 @icarehb.bsky.social & UAlg is dedicated to our #HOG2025 special session "Converging Horizons: #Cultural & #Environmental Interactions in #Prehistory of the #EuropeanFarWest" 🤩🤓 #conference #archeology #iberianpeninsula #paleolithic #mesolithic #zooarchaeology #paleoecology

Good morning from #Faro @icarehb.bsky.social & UAlg, where we start the day with presentations on #MiddlePalaeolithic. So glad we're having a #hybridconference so our colleagues can participate from everywhere #HOG2025! #conference #science #research #archaeology #palaeolithic #mesolithic

Wrapping up Day 1 of #HOG2025 with round 1 of poster presentations & the evening reception at the marvellous museum municipal #Faro Big thanks to all authors & contributions 👏🏻 You made our day! Can't wait for tomorrow! #conference #archeology #prehistory #quaternary #palaeolithic #Mesolithic

Diving head first into our 66th meeting #HOG2025 with talks on #LowerPalaeolithic & #MiddlePalaeolithic topics. What a blast to hear about all the research going on all over the world! 🌍🪨🦴🔬 #archaeology #palaeolithic #lithictechnology #chronology ##zooarchaeology #palaeoenvironment #science

After a very warm welcome from our hosts @icarehb.bsky.social & UAlg 🥰 our very first talk highlights Hugo Obermaiers connection to #Portugal and portuguese #Archeologists!👀 #HOG2025 #scientificexchange #researchhistory #Archeology #paleolithic #mesolithic #internationalresearch

The conference office is open #HOG2025. 🥳 Thank you @icarehb.bsky.social & UAlg for the perfect setup and wonderful student helpers 🫶🏻 #conference #scientificexchange #paleolithic #mesolithic #archeology #zooarcheology

We are proud. The article ‘Archaeometallurgical investigation of the Nebra Sky Disc’ is among the top 100 most downloaded Scientific Reports from Nature in 2024. www.nature.com/collections/...

The end of a fruitful week in Halle (Saale, Germany) with colleagues from the Landesmuseum, studying ornaments for my THREADS project @nouvelleaquitaine.bsky.social and bone tools with L. Doyon for his ERC ExOsTech research. Exciting insights @univbordeaux.bsky.social @cnrsecologie.bsky.social

Ancient humans were systematically producing bone tools as early as 1.5 million years ago, according to a study in Nature. Bone tools discovered in Tanzania pre-date previous evidence of systematic bone tool production by more than a million years. https://go.nature.com/3XpB20D 🏺 🧪

So nice to have these great colleagues here this week!

These beautiful artifacts, dated to around 40 ka, are housed at the @landesmuseumhalle.bsky.social, where many are on display. If you want to learn more about Ilsenhöhle at Ranis, I highly recommend checking out the latest publications by @marcel-weiss.bsky.social #Archaeology

Thrilled to share this paper born from a workshop uniting researchers for hands-on analysis of lithic assemblages Though they share the same stratigraphic and chronological window, the Châtelperronian and Uluzzian are fundamentally distinct link.springer.com/article/10.1... @mariesoressi.bsky.social

A great example of a collaborative effort (including @mariesoressi.bsky.social) to increase the comparability between lithic assemblages - here between the Uluzzian & Chatelperronian! We need more such work in all of the Paleolithic. link.springer.com/article/10.1... #archaeology #Palaeolithic

When did Neanderthals interbreed with ancient humans? New research sheds light on our ancestry www.nbcnews.com/science/scie... via @nbcnews

I am very happy and excited that our finds from Ranis along with those from the 1930s excavations (now stored at the Museum for Prehistory at Halle(Saale) led to these incredible results! A big Thank You to @arevsumer.bsky.social and the entire team for this amazing work!

I am very happy to share our new paper on the genetics of some of the first modern humans who ever lived in Europe! We sequenced nuclear DNA from 13 specimens from Ranis in Germany, and found that they belonged to at least 6 individuals. www.nature.com/articles/s41... (1/n)

New studies out yesterday show when modern humans last mated w/Neanderthals, but it's the details in this paper by @arevsumer.bsky.social @kaypruefer.bsky.social & co. that got me–like a mother and daughter found together after 45K years, or their close relative identified in a distant Czech cave.

‘Mystery woman’s DNA reveals close family ties between Europe’s earliest [sic] people’

Excited to share the groundbreaking work by @arevsumer.bsky.social, who successfully sequenced the oldest modern human genomes ever! 💀 A scientifically thrilling and deeply rewarding project to be part of!

Two very important papers released today on sapiens and neanderthal admixture 1. Neanderthal ancestry through time: Insights from genomes of ancient and present-day humans www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... 2. Earliest modern human genomes constrain timing of Neanderthal admixture Summaries

My #review of Giulia Marciani's monograph on the Late Mousterian of Oscurusciuto (Southern Italy) is on Lithic Technology. I totally recommend it! link to the review shorturl.at/Jotx9 link to the book shorturl.at/wCmcH #archaeology#palaeolithic @barpublishing.bsky.social@tandfresearch.bsky.social
