🌍 How did miniature #stonetools revolutionized technology on Africa's southern migration route? Jeff Rose leads this study, with fellow #ICArEHB members Nuno Bicho, João Cascalheira, and Osama Samawi. doi.org/10.1007/s419... #Lithics #OutOfAfrica #Paleolithic

#Oman #MSA New paper is OUT! We trace how Dhofar’s MSA shifts from Nubian Levallois cores to the miniaturized Mudayyan industry—highlighting changing technologies along the southern dispersal route out of Africa. @arduq.bsky.social @icarehb.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Great collection of articles on Arabia! Congratulations to authors 🎉

ARDUQ 5A expedition is in full swing. Our fieldwork in Nejd plateau in southern Oman is focused on collecting samples for paleoenvironmental, micro-morphological, geochemical and OSL dating analyses from the excavated stratified Palaeolithic sites. @czechacademy.bsky.social @icarehb.bsky.social

Our recent paper gets online attention 😊

It is finally OUT! 🎉 My book "HINTERLAND MONUMENTS OF ANCIENT NOMADS: Trilith Stone Structures of Southeastern Arabia" was published by @archaeopress.bsky.social Book is the first dedicated study of these enigmatic 2000-year-old ritual monuments. www.archaeopress.com/Archaeopress...

Very sad news today. Anthony E. Marks has passed away. He conducted pioneering prehistoric research in the Nile Valley, the southern Levant and Arabia, producing seminal works on the Palaeolithic. In 2023, aged 85, he still joined the @arduq.bsky.social excavations in Dhofar, Oman. Rest in peace.

New publication is out 🎉 from ARDUQ team! Nicknamed as "bone midden" in Nafun north of Duqm revealed incredible finds! Research is led by Betka Danielisova @czechacademy.bsky.social The first collective Neolithic megalithic tomb in Oman | Antiquity | Cambridge Core - bit.ly/47swNqQ
