Evidence for contact between LBK and hunter-gatherers, it grows at every turn, but we are no closer to really understanding the range and scope of relationships. The site of Eilsleben gives us more evidence of just how close interaction could have been. Plus that deer antler mask 🤩

I guess @science.org readers are really interested in why Europe's first farmers vanished! That, or headless bodies.

How can Neolithic waste help us understand how Europe's first farmers adapted to a more sedentary lifestyle? Our new joint project with the University of York, "RENEW: From Refuse to Resource: Ceramic and Bone Wastescapes in the Early Neolithic of Europe" hopes to shed light on this. bit.ly/3Xgcnez

Ancient Chinchorro mummies show that modern Chileans are taller and have larger cranial volumes because of recent improvements in nutrition and health, not ancient lifestyle shifts. Bodies change fast when environments do. #bioarchaeology #anthropology #Chile #humanvariation

I've written a few, mostly scholarly, but this is probably the most publicly accessible. A short book written to introduce readers to how archaeologists get stories out of dirt, bones, and broken things

#Settlement area, economy, and #headlessbodies in the ditch – #Vráble is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional #LBK sites. However, without our partners, the specialists at the #SlovakAcademyOfSciences, it would have remained hidden forever… 🇸🇰 archeol.sav.sk/index.php/en/ #researchacrossboarders

...and another blog post featuring the ' #Vráble mystery' from Serbia 🇷🇸 sveoarheologiji.com/masovna-grob...

A fascinating article by @andrewcurry.com @science.org! 🔬....we hope to find out soon whether 'killings/massacres' actually happened in Vráble or whether ritual practices took place here–skull removal and decapitation are different procedures... 💀👀 stay tuned! @uni-kiel.de @clusterroots.bsky.social

In 2022, archaeologists at @uni-kiel.de's @neolithicbodies.bsky.social found 34 decapitated skeletons piled in a space the size of a parking spot. In the 3 years since, they’ve found 50 more. The mass grave is evidence for the collapse of the 1st pan-European culture 7,000 years ago. @science.org 🏺💀
