#ESHE2025 Sarah Pederzani ‘ Tracing cold-climate adaptations in early Homo sapiens in Europe …Bacho Kiro, Bulgaria’ How did humans disperse to all climate zones? 🔥! mysterious bone sand 😳? Exciting results from plant/animal LIPID BIOMARKERS- evidence of animal bone fat extraction !

#ESHE2025 Giulia Gallo ‘ Estimating fire duration through bioapatite crystallite growth in Middle Palaeolithic contexts’ Bioapatite crystals: XRD/point of calcination. Nice experiment! Roc de Marsa (~90Ka) & Le Moustier (~55Ka): 10-20 hrs fire duration, at Le Moustier assoc w burning megafauna

Second day of #ESHE2025 meetings in Paris today! Our stream for members is again online. You can also find updates under our hashtag and at particularly active commenters here like @martamlahr.bsky.social ! /MW

Le Moustier 2025 field season is over! Super proud of our team and the ongoing research 🦴

📢 The recording of the Integrating #ZooMS and #Zooarchaeology "Ask Us Anything" forum held on 30 June 2025 is now available on YouTube: youtu.be/loAgeUuK08g?... 📄 We also created a summary document that can be downloaded on the IZAZ website: izaz2024.sciencesconf.org

Le 04/07 C. Dancette soutiendra sa thèse "Les néandertaliens face aux bouleversements climatiques du MIS 4 : entre choix cynégétiques et contraintes environnementales" Rdv à 14h Université Toulouse Jean Jaurès, Maison de la recherche, salle D29 traces.univ-tlse2.fr/accueil/agen...

We are hosting a free online ‘Ask Us Anything’ event as part of the Integrating ZooMS and Zooarchaeology workshop series. For more info and to submit questions: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... 📅 Date: June 30, 2025 🕒 Time: 15:00 CET 📍 Location: Online (link: univ-tlse2.zoom.us/j/9775805212...)

We’re deeply concerned about the disappearance of our colleague Pierre Noiret. Please share and help us spread the word. For more information please check: www.police.be/avis-de-rech...

In the is project we simulate the thermal exposure of bone under a high heat combustion feature (at -2,-6, and -10 cm) and describe the visual and spectroscopic alterations at different depths ! @stahlschmidtmc.bsky.social @veraaldeias.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

So happy to share that our study on the thermal alteration of buried bone is available today! @stahlschmidtmc.bsky.social @veraaldeias.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Congratulations Scott Williams and @codyprang.bsky.social et al. on new publication considering hominoid locomotor evolution with Miocene ape lumbar vertebrae! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

PAPER ALERT! 🦣🏺🧪 Last study about #seasonality and #extent of #neanderthals occupation by means of #cementochronology and #dentalwearanalysis is out! New data on #mousterian layers of #FumaneCave www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Evolution journal editors resign en masse to protest Elsevier changes retractionwatch.com/2024/12/27/e...

We hope this paper can foster discussions on respectful and transparent ways to engage with animal materials- for standardization, reproducibility, and to best honor the non renewable resources in our projects which can only be sourced from living creatures. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Today our paper is available - a reflection on ethics and standards when using animal materials in experimental archaeology! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Final discussion at #IZAZ2024 focusing on community integration in #ZooMS research. Critical conversations about making archaeological science more inclusive and accessible! @CollegedeFrance
