#ESHE2025
Katerina Harvati ‘Middle Pleistocene funerary ritual at Apidima? An examination of evidence’
2 homs– 2 dates: Ap2: >170 ka (NEA), Ap1 >210 ka (early H sapiens).
Could it be mortuary ritual instead (Otte 2020)?! NO.
Analysis of tapho, homs in fissure! no pebbles, no pigments 😀

And finally today, team members Gabriel Russo and Marya Soubra presented their latest work on sites in Lebanon at #ESHE2025 poster session! 🌍🐆🦴🐾 Congratulations to both! 🤗🤗
