Here’s a CNRS offer to come to PACEA. It’s a multi-year contract that at the end will turn into a permanent Senior Researcher position if objectives are met. So if you’re a several years post PhD and a specialist in paleoenvironments, geoarchaeology, and human adaptation give it a look!

Happy to have participated with my CAI-RN working group colleagues in today’s conference dedicated to our soon to be released archaeological statistics manual. @cnrs.fr archeometrie.cnrs.fr/category/gro...

🧪 Interesting new study out by my colleague @stephmazieres.bsky.social concerning biological aspects of Homo sapiens' movement out of Africa. Here's a press release (in French) by our CNRS institute @cnrsecologie.bsky.social www.inee.cnrs.fr/fr/cnrsinfo/...

🧪 Press release (French) of an interesting study by my colleague @clement-zanolli.bsky.social at PACEA @pacea.bsky.social @cnrsecologie.bsky.social. www.inee.cnrs.fr/fr/cnrsinfo/...

For our French colleagues and followers, here is a press release published today by our CNRS Institute (CNRS Écologie & Environnement) concerning our recently published paper on the cultural and biological dynamics of the Middle-to-Upper Paleolithic Transition. www.inee.cnrs.fr/fr/cnrsinfo/...

🧪🧪 The final version of our paper arguing for a paradigm shift concerning research on the transition from the Middle to Upper Paleolithic is out. With my colleagues Zilhao, d’Errico and @teyssand31.bsky.social doi.org/10.1016/j.qe...

🧪 Have you always thought that Paleolithic archaeology needed a paradigm shift with respect to the Middle-to-Upper Paleolithic transition? Always thought that the Assimilation model should be given more weight? Well, then this article is for you. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Interested in combining archaeology and mathematics to examine past circulation networks? PhD with a strong research record ? @pacea.bsky.social would be happy to welcome you if you’re offered the job! emploi.cnrs.fr/Offres/CPJ/C...

It was a pleasure to have had the opportunity to write this News & Views for Nature (out last week) about the recently published articles describing the site of Ilsenhöhle (Ranis). rdcu.be/dxstE

This is a neat idea; done with scholargoggler.com. A word cloud of my published research subjects.

Had my nose stuck in e-mails early this morning and was happy that a colleague called my attention to the beautiful sunrise here in Bordeaux

Early Homo erectus lived at high altitudes and produced both Oldowan and Acheulean tools 🧪 www.science.org/doi/full/10.... New palaeomagnetic ages to show the mandible in level E is ca. 2 million-years-old, and represents one of the earliest Homo erectus fossils

Regional behaviour among late Neanderthal groups in Western Europe: A comparative assessment of late Middle Palaeolithic bifacial tool variability 🧪 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Indicates a high level of variation among bifacial tools made by Neanderthal groups

Clean, head-high waves on offer for this morning’s session ❤️

Hi All. I’m making the move over to here from the billionaire’s platform, so I thought I’d introduce myself. I’m an archaeologist interested in Palaeolithic culture-environment relationships. I explore these via niche modeling methods and culture transmission theory.
