The #LandscapesofConflict conference is underway. Until Friday, international experts are exploring how conflicts have shaped landscapes and human–environment interactions for more than 6,000 years. A deep-time perspective on a pressing global issue. #LEIZArchaeology #ConflictArchaeology #Research

Friends, please consider contributing to this initiative to give African scholars opportunities to date archaeological sites they work on. This is organised by the Society of Africanist Archaeologists. gofund.me/2324ee20a

The authors of a Comment article in Nature discuss Contributor Role Taxonomy (CRediT), a tool for clarifying the roles of each author of a research paper and call for CRediT to become the norm, to support researchers and research integrity across the whole academic landscape. #Academicsky 🧪

It's time for another episode of The Archaeology Show! There’s a lot of Neanderthal research in the news these days and the first two articles highlight some of those achievements.

A paper in Nature Communications presents archaeology of the Namorotukunan site in Kenya’s Turkana Basin, and the study’s findings suggests continuity in tool-making practices over 300,000 years, with evidence of systematic selection of rock types. go.nature.com/3WJnBrK 🏺 🧪

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

Excited to share our new publication, led by the amazing Anastasia and @youssefdjellal.bsky.social! We show that CNNs can help not only with classifying traces of use, but also on how to acquire imaging data 🔬 @icarehb.bsky.social @leizarchaeology.bsky.social

Don’t miss this one 👇🏼 join us next year at the @caaint.bsky.social and show us your innovative computer applications to the study archaeological artefacts!

Anyone wishing a master class on changing the world for the better, without becoming negative, cynical, angry or narrow-minded, could model after Jane Goodall. Jane Goodall, the gentle disrupter whose research on chimpanzees redefined what it meant to be human 🏺🧪 theconversation.com/jane-goodall...

Published today: One of the biggest #science #communication studies to date. We asked 71,922 people in 68 countries how they #engage with information about #science and combined the data with several country-level factors: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/... #OpenAccess

🔥 Next #LEXA Seminar! Dr William Chase Murphree will explore #fire use during the #UpperPalaeolithic, using #geoarchaeology experiments to reveal how humans managed fire in glacial times. 🗓️ 7 Oct, 14:00 GMT | 🌍 Online 🔗 Register: zoom.us/meeting/regi...

From #Ferrara2025 to… #Faro2030! 🎉 We’re excited that #ICArEHB – Univ. Algarve will host the 12th International Conference on the #Mesolithic in Europe. For the 1st time, #MESO comes to Portugal 🇵🇹 Algarve awaits! ☀️

The ERC Project MATRIX explores one of the big questions in our past: how Neanderthals disappeared as modern humans spread across Europe. Meet the team behind it and learn more about our research on sediments, ancient DNA, proteins, lipids & human evolution 👉 matrix.icarehb.com

Humans may have been making tools from whale bones up to 20,000 years ago, says OA research in @natcomms.nature.com. Their discovery helps broaden understanding of early human use of whale remains and provides snapshot of ancient whale ecology: spklr.io/63328BERzp #Palaeontology 🧪🦴
