While walking through the mountains one can collect a nice comparative collection at once. After 6-dau trek we have a skulls of capra sibirica and sus scrofa and a half of ursus arctos issabelinus.

Fieldwork - Day 3 Basecamp Due to unbelievable hospitality of Uzbek people in Kashkadarya our team had the oportunity to set up a basecamp in a nice private garden. A little bit more work and the basecamp with a mobile lab is ready. video by @hermano #expedition #ERC #archeology #excavations

⛏️ 3 years of pilot studies 🔦16 Central Asian caves ⛰️10 test trenches 🧗🏾‍♂️200km of high mountain treks through Tian Shan and Pamir-Alay ... and here we start our outstanding scientific journey with the ERC Consolidator Grant @erc.europa.eu INASIA housed at @UniversityofWarsaw

Check out our final results on the reliability of the diacritic approach in lithics. We tested how many errors beginners and experts make, which factors impede the outcome, and gave some hints. For more, scroll sciencedirect.com/science/articl
