Today we were hosted at National Library. Beautiful library and interesting projects they solve there. We will try to invite Israeli colleagues to Prague during this semester to give us and our students the lectures.

At the Iron Age economy conference at the @hebrewuniversity.bsky.social and the @albrightinstitute.bsky.social glad to present our research together with my student Sabina Miller as part of this excellent conference. Team from @cuarchaeology.bsky.social of @ff.unikarlova.cuni.cz. Israel with love❤️

On a work trip to Israel ❤️ — this time sampling the extent of the Essene settlement from the 2nd century BC. I even sampled in the caves where the scrolls were discovered in 1947. Results should be available in a few months. Link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Essenes en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_Se...

Traditionally I invade someone during the Olympics. This current invasion is going so well it started right after the last winter Olympics ended and hasn't stopped since. I remain a master strategist.

Zásadní krok ve snižování emisí v dopravě je elektrifikace. Data ukazují, že 99 % 🇨🇿 cest je kratších než 200 km (a průměrně najedeme kolem 29 km denně) Proto dnešní elektroauta s reálným dojezdem v řádu stovek (300–600) km pokryjí naprostou většinu jízd – i s rozumnou rezervou. #AtlasDekarbonizace

29 January 1920 | Czech Jewish woman, Eva Kohnová, was born in Prague. She was deported to #Auschwitz from #Theresienstadt ghetto on 19 October 1944. She did not survive.

New paper out, possibly one of the most tedious projects of my life... it's working name was Project ARDUOUS and boy howdy did it live up to its name 🧪🏺 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Nejpevnější slovenské boty si ve vládě obul Macinka. Popírá klimatickou změnu, vyhazuje odbornìky, prosazuje pašalík pro hajlujícího soukmenovce, vyhrožuje prezidentovi, zakazuje neoblíbeným novinářům a redakcím vstup na oficiální tiskovku, rozdává aroganci na počkání. Škoda, že Česko nemá premiéra.

We’re excited to present our 2nd site in the Czech Republic: the early medieval hillfort of Tismice (Central Bohemia). Once part of an 8th–9th c. hillfort network along the Šembera River, it will be reconnected via a new Archaeotrail. 📅 Public event planned for May 2026. #erasmusPLUS #Sharitage

Have you checked our new Tel Burna paper? Mudbrick isn’t gone—it’s decomposed. Geochemistry still catches it: K marks mudbrick-derived deposits, even where architecture is no longer visible in the stratigraphy. #israel #biblicalarchaeology #ironage #geoarcheology #czechscience #bible #ancient

If you love Israel and archaeology, here’s something new. In our latest article, we show that an Iron Age tell in the Shephelah preserves hidden occupation surfaces and activity zones that are no longer visible in the stratigraphy—but can be detected through geochemistry and portable luminescence.

🇪🇺 Work on the Erasmus+ SHARITAGE project is gaining momentum. Our teams used the last sunny November weekend to visit Justiniana Prima and design new walking routes.

Moderátor Václav Moravec podle svých slov čelí v České televizi soustavnému tlaku už více než dva roky. „Podporu vedení už necítím,“ říká v rozhovoru. V případě vyhazovu by podal žalobu.

Zrovna jsem zjistil, že doktorandi mimo archeologii u nás na fakultě si myslí, že archeologové vykopávají dinosaury. Něco tu zjevně děláme špatně. I’ve just found out that PhD students outside archaeology at our faculty think archaeologists dig up dinosaurs. Clearly, we’re doing something wrong.

Our institute just got a great new book in the library. As the series editor writes: “I strongly recommend all geomorphologists to visit Israel and enjoy its breathtaking landscapes.” A fantastic volume – including a really inspiring chapter on the paleoanthropocene.

Glosa Evy Mošpanové: Říkáme, že děti jsou naše budoucnost. Ale ne natolik, abychom je chtěli potkávat v kavárnách, slyšet v debatách nebo brát vážně. Je tedy správné, že prezident během státních vyznamenání dostal děti do centra pozornosti.
