Call for Papers 🔔 S13: If I Had a Hammer, I’d 3D-Scan It (CAA2026, Vienna) Bring your hammers, datasets, and code 🤓 we look forward to your contributions.

I'll be attending, and co-organising the session "Exploring Interoperability Objectives and Opportunities with the TDCCs" Please say hi if you see me, and join the session if you're into interoperability!

Exciting implications for these #AI tools developed by our colleagues in the Classics Faculty #Ithaca and #Aeneus predictingthepast.com generative AI models designed to assist historians in the study of ancient Greek and Latin inscriptions. Time to play!

Coming soon: Advances in Digital Archaeology. Proceedings of the 2023 conference Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology – 50 years of synergy www.sidestone.com/books/advanc...

If you weren’t able to make it to our "Demystifying Digital Field Recording", it’s now uploaded to our YouTube channel: youtu.be/X_-M2KAhYug?...

What an exciting year 2024 was, with the wrap-up of the Emporios Hinterland Project in Chios, Greece! Special thanks to Dr. Bevan and @brennawalks.bsky.social for coordinating such a systematic surface survey, enriched with computational approaches 🚶‍♂️⛰️

Mechanical experiments are in progress at TraCEr by @eduardopaixao.bsky.social, testing the impact of different raw materials on the crushing of raw tubers. This study is part of broader research on early human behavior and percussive tool use at the Acheulean site of Melka Wakena, Ethiopia

Are you passionate about making science more reproducible and ethical? The Turing Way handbook is a must-read! 💡 If you haven’t explored it yet, it is highly recommend giving it a look! 🌟 book.the-turing-way.org

Here is my checklist summarising a small set of some of the simplest tasks you can do that have high potential to improve the reproducibility of your analysis code. This is based on my year of reproducibility reviews for the J. of Archaeological Science: authors.elsevier.com/a/1lHjN_6yUM... 🧪🏺

I'm happy to share this review article, where I attempt to ponder about missed opportunities in archaeological statistical modelling.

We were thrilled to organize the seminar Traceology II: Introduction to Theory and Methods in Archaeological Research. The sessions combined theory with hands-on lithic analysis, offering an overview of traceological methods and relevance to archaeological research. Many thanks to all participants!

New paper out with Radu Iovita in PLOS One modeling potential routes of dispersal for Neanderthals moving from the Caucasus Mountains to the Altai Mountains after MIS 6 doi.org/10.1371/jour...

🥳 I'm very happy to share the first paper of my PhD on the application of machine learning in use-wear analysis. ✨This work wouldn't have been possible without the support of @icarehb.bsky.social and my excellent supervisors @jmarreiros.bsky.social and Shannon McPherron. bsky.app/profile/jmar...

Thrilled to share the latest publication from our lab — huge congratulations to the amazing @aeleftheriadou.bsky.social on her first paper! 🎉 Stay tuned for her exciting work applying machine learning to study wear patterns on stone tools. 🔬

Great news! The detailed conference program for the upcoming @caaint.bsky.social meeting in Athens is now available! Looking forward to seeing you all there! 😊✨ #CAA2025 #icarehb 2025.caaconference.org/wp-content/u...

A view of @icarehb.bsky.social as part of MAIA's broad network exploring the management of artificial intelligence into archaeology. Very excited to be part of this great initiative and looking forward to the first meetings and outputs 😊

New paper alert! Lasse van den Dikkenberg used AGNES (agnessearch.nl) to search for Vlaardingen sites, and found 30 new ones, 19% of his total overview of Vlaardingen sites. This shows that AGNES is an effective tool for finding archaeological ‘by-catch’. doi.org/10.5334/jcaa...

🙌Advances is stepping it up in the world of research transparency in publishing! We already offered digital badges for open data practices, but we now have an Associate Editor for Reproducibility, @benmarwick.bsky.social (omg, thank you Ben for this!) Check the link www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Happy to share that my first solo-authored paper is now published in the Annual Review of Statistics and Its Application. 📑 Reproducibility in the Classroom 🔗 www.annualreviews.org/content/jour...

The preliminary schedule for CAA Athens is out! 📢 Get ready for some amazing sessions and thought-provoking talks. 🔹 'Pixels in Training' 🗓️ May 6th, 15:05 - 18:30 🔹 'Exploring the Nexus of Robotics and Archaeology' 🗓️ May 6th, 10:30 - 12:30 by @jmarreiros.bsky.social 2025.caaconference.org/program/
