We are looking forward to welcoming #EmmaPomeroy to #HEASVienna next week as part of the #HEASSeminar series in #HumanEvolutionandthePalaeolithic More information and registration on our website 🔗👇

I'll just leave you with this (scallops, otherwise known as clams in Scotland)

The world has lost one of the biggest figures in Anthropology, Biology, and Conservation to have ever lived. Science will be an emptier place without her, and I can only take solace in knowing that she has inspired entire new generations of researchers who will continue her work. Rest in peace, Jane

HEAS Member @philipnigst.bsky.social has been awarded an FWF grant for the project “Residential Mobility in Upper Palaeolithic Europe” @palarchgroup.bsky.social @uhaunivienna.bsky.social @fwf-at.bsky.social 👇

👏👏 Congratulations to our colleague Marjolein D. Bosch on receiving an #ERC Starting Grant for her COPE project. She will explore how Ice Age hunters and gatherers responded to cold temperatures, resource scarcity 💦 🦌 🌱 , and environmental changes 30,000 years ago. More info: buff.ly/EGicG8z

Justus Erus Edung was only 25 years old when he discovered Kenyanthropus platyops in a team led by Prof. Meave Leakey in 1999. This 3.5 million year old “flat-faced” skull quickly grabbed international headlines and changed the course of human evolution. #fossils #turkana #humanevolution

@deadbovids.bsky.social amazing work on the fauna from #Lokodongot!! 31 mammals 🤩🤩🤩

Check out our new paper, led by former postdoc and current colleague Daniel Green on 18 Ma proteins in fossil teeth! Tim Cleland, a proteomics wizard, did the measurements. What's the take home? We hope to use protein fingerprints to study mammal and hominin phylogenetics! bit.ly/OldProteome

Ancient proteins have been recovered from fossil relatives of rhinoceroses and other animals that are at least 18 million years old, according to evidence from two papers in Nature. go.nature.com/4081H3m go.nature.com/3Ik78Gj #Paleosky 🧪

🧵1/5 📢 New paper out in Journal of Archaeological Science! We present a regional analysis of fallow deer in Middle Paleolithic Levant and propose a methodological refinement for aging that has major implications for understanding human hunting behavior. Open Access: doi.org/10.1016/j.ja...

Don’t forget to join us tomorrow at 11am (UK/Lisbon time) to hear from @roinnanluisigh.bsky.social and @tansybranscombe.bsky.social in the next @icarehb.bsky.social Alt-Ac Paths videoconf-colibri.zoom.us/j/9355232390...

after 6 years, finally out in @nature.com! ‪Huge expansion of the human #niche in Africa ~70kya likely equipped later #outofAfrica dispersals with unique ecological flexibility co-led with Emily Hallett @eegcam.bsky.social & @elliescerri.bsky.social #prehistory #humanevolution #paleoecology #SDM

DNA from 146,00-year-old tooth plaque helped Chinese researchers identify the "Dragon Man" as a Denisovan, an archaic species of human: www.science.org/content/arti... @science.org

Around 70,000 years ago, our ancestors in Africa began exploiting different habitats. Flexibility to survive in deserts to rainforests enabled their successful spread ‘Out of Africa’. Find out more about the study co-led by Andrea Manica @eegcam.bsky.social 👇 bit.ly/4e6i9H7

Happy to share our new publication which shows the potential of LIBS Mg/Ca mapping to characterise seasonal shellfish foraging practices from Tasmanian limpet shells. 🐚 Led by @fleurking.bsky.social #archsci #sclerochronology @niklashausmann.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

We're excited to announce the next @icarehb.bsky.social Alt-Ac Paths conversation, with Luíseach Nic Eoin @roinnanluisigh.bsky.social and Tansy Branscombe @tansybranscombe.bsky.social, who now work at @natecoevo.nature.com and @barpublishing.bsky.social. Thurs 19th June, 11am (GMT), Zoom link below.

I am offering two 4-year PhD positions (fully funded) and a 57 month combined post-doc / project manager position as part of my NWO-Vici grant, which starts in September.

Amazing work with a fabulous team 🤩

Archaeology meets modern art in the exhibition’The language of the goddesses’, curated by Elisabeth von Samsonov and I. Looking forward to the opening on Saturday #MAMUZ Asparn!

We presented our research on the Gravettian sites of Grub-Kranawetberg I & II @philipnigst.bsky.social @marjolein-bosch.bsky.social @wcmurph.bsky.social @univie.ac.at @uhaunivienna.bsky.social @heasvienna.bsky.social @oeai.bsky.social @oeaw.bsky.social @icarehb.bsky.social @nhmwien.bsky.social

New paper on Fire Use during the Last Glacial Maximum! - published today in Geoarchaeology. tinyurl.com/5n8j98ry @philipnigst.bsky.social @wcmurph.bsky.social @marjolein-bosch.bsky.social @veraaldeias.bsky.social @univie.ac.at @heasvienna.bsky.social @oeai.bsky.social @icarehb.bsky.social

Check out our new article on gender archaeology doi.org/10.1017/S095.... Here, we test the chromosomal sex of Early Bronze Age individuals from Franzhausen and Gemeinlebarn that were not conforming to the dominant gendered burial practices.

🦣🔍 New mammoth bone discoveries in Lower Austria reveal insights into Ice Age hunters' daily life. OeAI archaeologists found remains of 5 mammoths, with stone tools, dismembered bones, and tusk fragments showing the use of meat and ivory processing by hunters 25,000 years ago.
