seafront-project.com/post/calibra... Largest dataset on Mg/Ca in shells yet (+100 and over a dozen sites)🐚 Again, we found tightly correlated but shell-specific relationships between temperature and Mg/Ca. Lots of potential for future archaeological studies🏺 @leizarchaeology.bsky.social

New paper out! 🎉 We explore how deep learning (CNNs) can classify polish on experimental flint tools based on contact material and use intensity. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Kap25 Day 9: It gets ever more exciting as the rains reveal more and more features underneath the mound's erosion layers. That's what we wanted! @archaeo-fk.bsky.social 🤩💦 @leizarchaeology.bsky.social

Kap25 Day 8: Back to the shovel after the rains. No damage, fortunately! @archaeo-fk.bsky.social and the team expect to complete the section in the forefront within the next days. Btw, did I mention before that they are doing an excellent job? ☝️👍 @leizarchaeology.bsky.social

Kap25 Day 6: Rain on our parade...🌧️😕 But @archaeo-fk.bsky.social and the team are doing a magnificant job! More and more unexpected features are popping up! @leizarchaeology.bsky.social

KAP25 Day 5: Odd features at the top of the mound?! Is it a multi-component structure? We do have Middle Neolithic ceramics...Fascinating 🤨 @leizarchaeology.bsky.social

Day 3 at KAP25. The team already achieved a lot! And the original architecure of the mound is getting clearer! @leizarchaeology.bsky.social @challengesjgu.bsky.social
