Looks delicious, how is it prepared? One needs a huge flame obviously. ;)

What a fantastic find! I wonder why we find so few Iron Age wells in the North Rhine region. We have hundreds of settlements but less than a dozen wells, I would guess.

"Herman would have probably hit you, if you called him a German/Germanic". 😅 I very much enjoyed K. Banghard's book on myths and stereotypes surrounding the "Germanic peoples".

Culture workers feel the pain of Sudan’s endless civil war Antiquities directors and curators share their personal stories of the chaos and looting that have devastated their lives and the country’s cultural heritage

My thoughts are with the courageous colleagues who have remained in Sudan to protect the country's cultural heritage 🏺.

Looks like dominoes falling. ;)

A very interesting site! However, it should be noted that there is also evidence of continuity between the Linear Pottery culture 🏺and the Post-LBK period in certain regions of Central Europe. It is evidence of crisis that makes headlines, not evidence of continuity.

The tag #Kindred is a bit misleading. 😉. A lot of other stuff not regarding Neanderthals.

Ethnicity ≠ genes ≠ language ≠ archaeological objects 🏺

Ethnicity is a social construct.
Ethnicity is dynamic.
Ethnicity is messy.

Congratulations! 🎉

Dropping 'sacred' stuff in wells seems to be a Roman habit. In the Rhineland we find a lot of Jupiter column fragments in wells. Has this phenomenon been studied superregionally? 🤔

Spatiotemporal reconstruction of Corded Ware and Bell Beaker burial rituals reveals complex dynamics divergent from steppe ancestry Chronological modeling shows fast, polyfocal dissemination of Corded Ware and Beaker rites before rapid Pan-European convergence.

Very interesting reading: Bourgeois et al argue Corded Ware burial rituals emerge latest in regions closest to the steppe. This is in stark contrast to the proposed dispersal of steppe ancestry from East to West (Yamnaya hypothesis)

Man gets payout over portrayal in Steve Coogan Richard III film Richard Taylor sued Steve Coogan and two production companies over his portrayal in the movie.

I’m delighted to see that Richard Taylor has won his defamation case against the producers of this film. It was awful to see archaeological colleagues misrepresented, cast as villains to fit a lazy narrative. But remarkably, the producers “remain proud of the film”!

Cool to see a photo of the excavation team! 👍The finds don't dig up themselfs.

When Farmers Gambled on Diversity: How Neolithic Communities in the Rhineland Transformed Their Fields A new archaeobotanical study reveals how early European farmers shifted from einkorn and emmer to a more flexible, risk-spreading crop strategy nearly 7,000 years ago.

New study of 7,000-year-old seeds in Germany shows Neolithic farmers expanded beyond einkorn & emmer, betting on barley & naked wheat to spread risk. Early agriculture was dynamic, not static. #Archaeology #Neolithic #Anthropology #FarmingHistory www.anthropology.net/p/when-farme...

In many places in the book, I was reminded of the works of Daniela Hofmann or Martin Furholt, whom she also quotes. Stefanie Samida takes a similar stance in her German-language book “Molekularbiologie und Archäologie. Eine ungewöhnliche Beziehung.”.

Anna Källèn's The Trouble with Ancient DNA is a great read. She convincingly argues that #Archaeogenetics are often falsely portrayed as a 'neutral machine where unbiased truths about ancient people (...) come straight out of bone powder.'

Although it may not be a "looker," it is one of the few proofs that bronze was cast in the Northern Rhine Region during the Bronze Age. Thanks to my colleague Markus, who had a closer look and realised this is not a stone like any other. 😜
