Grand interior of the National Museum in Prague, featuring a sweeping marble staircase lined with red carpets, ornate columns, and golden lamps. Busts of historical figures line the upper level beneath a decorative arched gallery, and the ceiling is made of elaborately patterned glass panels that let in natural light. Visitors walk up and down the staircases, giving a sense of scale to the opulent architecture.
A grand place for Lucy to make her European debut.

Great talk @armandofalcucci.bsky.social! Impressive depth of data analysis, and I really appreciated the open science approach. Finally, robust evidence that the Ahmarian and Protoaurignacian arenβt directly linked

Several beads and pendants of varying colours and shapes, made from stone, shell and shark teeth.
For #FindsFriday, here are some shell, stone and shark tooth beads and pendants from a Neolithic grave at Wadi NafΕ«n, Oman.
These materials indicate a symbolic connection to marine themes amongst the people buried here.

Myself standing in front of a poster of research entitled βWhat can handaxe shape contribute to discussions of hominin demography in Africa in the late Early and early Middle Pleistocene?β
Great fun at #ESHE2025 presenting on how handaxe shape can inform discussions of African demography in the Early and Middle Pleistocene! While we have very few fossils or genetic data for this period, handaxe shape may carry a signal that can help to constrain biogeographic models - more to come!

This non #FlintFriday and #FieldworkFriday, I would like to share this mint-fresh Quartzite handaxe from SE India, likely dating back to Middle Pleistocene.
Yes, it hurts to see that broken tip! Still, one of my best find.
I am field-sick, can't wait to go back.

The 'bone midden' surprised with its age, megalithic features and the number of individuals. It is as impressive as the neighbouring rock art sites, triliths and shell midden. The Nafun cultural landscape comprises 214 archaeological sites! @arduq.bsky.social

We spend long periods of time in Kenya collecting data in the collections, understanding the landscape and looking for fossils.

The rest of the year is spent analysing data, honing skills and preparing for upcoming field work. During this time, we develop new methodologies, attend conferences, write papers and discuss our findings

What does the Ng'ipalajem team do?
Ngβipalajem, meaning Ancestors in Turkana, is an ERC-funded project.
Led by @martamlahr.bsky.social, the project investigates how the emergence of Homo sapiens is deeply intertwined with Africaβs long-term environmental and ecological history.

Here, we propose a new perspective on early stone tool technology: emulation of naturally occurring sharp-edged stones (naturaliths) instead of inventing via 'Eureka!' moments. Nature provided the blueprint; hominins took it further.
