#Melissa has made landfall in #Jamaica, and has preliminarily tied the record for the lowest pressure of any landfalling hurricane in Atlantic history: 892 mb. That was last observed 90 years ago with the 1935 Labor Day hurricane.
The storm does not look like it even notices Jamaica being there.

Les glaciers suisses ont perdu 3% de leur volume cette année, en raison de l'hiver peu enneigé et des vagues de chaleur de l'été.
En dix ans, ils ont perdu un quart de leur volume total, et de nombreux petits glaciers ont disparu.

📢 Come join us! Penn State Anthropology is hiring *two tenure-track assistant professors*, one in human reproductive ecology and one in archaeology. Here are just a few reasons why working at Penn State is awesome:

The Last Glacial Maximum in the Tropics: Human Responses to Global Change, 30–10 ka - Journal of World Prehistory The world at 18,000 BP, published by Gamble and Soffer (The world at 18,000 BP. Vol. 2: low latitude, Unwin Hyman, 1990), represents the first, and so far the only, attempt at characterising and discussing the impact of the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) on human societies on a global scale. At the time, they highlighted that research and data on the LGM in southern latitudes and the tropics in particular were scant. Since 1990, however, many sites dated to the LGM and located in tropical latitudes have been published. Many paradigms have changed regarding the peopling of the Americas, which allows the archaeology of this continent to be integrated into global scale studies of the LGM. The development of Pleistocene archaeology in tropical contexts, in parallel with methodological advances in cultural, geosciences and palaeoenvironmental studies have strongly reshaped what we know of the antiquity of human occupation in tropical regions and specific human–environment interactions. This article provides for the first time a pan-tropical perspective on the impact of the LGM on human groups living within the tropical latitudes, drawing from case studies in Southeast Asia, Africa and South America, specifically regions which have up until now never been discussed together. To this end, we focus on six different tropical regions between 30 and 10 ka. We present the archaeological and paleoenvironmental data available in these areas, along with proposed relationships for variations in these two records. Finally, we discuss at the regional scale the presence or absence of human changes (site density and techno-cultural change or continuity) before, during and immediately after the LGM.

📣New paper alert

doi.org/10.1007/s109...

How did populations in tropical regions cope with the global climatic change around the LGM?

While the tropics are often perceived as having been less impacted by the LGM, we show that -as is often the case - it is more complex than it seems!

Hello everyone and welcome. I am an ethnomusicologist and field ethnographer in eastern Arabia. I work on music and possession rituals practised by slave descendants in the Gulf. Depending on my availability, I will post news about traditional music from the Gulf and MENA region.
So stay tuned!

Ethnoarchaeological sampling started in #Dhofar, south #Oman! Already 300 and counting.. (and some dromedaries)

It was an honor to give our lecture at the Oman Across Ages Museum! @archbot44.bsky.social and I thank the Ministry of Heritage and Tourism and the curator of the Museum for organizing this wonderful event!

What an incredible line-up! Truly honored to have my name included among so many outstanding researchers. 🙌✨ See you there!

It was a pleasure to be part of this June 2024 study on ancient #Celts of the Hallstatt and La Tène cultures. Using #archaeology, #DNA, #isotopes, and #anthropology, we found that status and power were inherited along maternal lines. Congrats to J. Gretzinger and team!

I thought at first that this media would remain moderately active, but since Trump’s election it has played its role of Refugium wonderfully. I hope it lasts.
