It's been a great season of archaeological excavations with my students. First week is over. Another three to go on the millenar mounds of Southern Brazil.

A short but very productive fieldwork before starting the archaeological excavations at the millenar mounds of the central coast of Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil, along with colleagues from the department of palaeontology and stratigraphy at UFRGS. Drones, GPRs (and friendly dogs) at their best!

To be fair, this is far from my research focus, since it doesn't have anything to do with native American archaeology. But sometimes it is good to get a little bit out of the comfort zone. (Also, the student insisted that wanted me as supervisor for her project. Ok then.) Let's see how it follows.

This weekend, I was with my undergraduate student at the Altair stranded ship. It's been here since 1976 and it's now the ficus of my student's research. We have been interviewing dozens of visitors to know their opinion on the site's importance as a regional cultural heritage.

Opening of the exhibition “USP 90 years: an immersive journey through our Museums”. Beautiful pieces and virtual reality from the museums of the University of São Paulo. From January 30 to February 28, 2025, it’s worth a visit!

Chibú yswa! My nickname is Juca. Born in the Sabana de Bogotá (Andean Mountains of Colombia), with Muisca ancestral roots, and raised in the Brazilian cerrado. Archaeologist and professor (PhD). My research focus on the origins, evolution and biocultural diversity of native people in the Americas.

Interesting! Do you have any references on that?

If you are interested in the early occupation of South America, and don't know where to start reading about the subject, here is an Encyclopedia of Archaeology entry published a year ago, written by myself in collaboration with Prof. Carlos Lopez.

20,000-year-old 'human' fossils from Japan aren't what we thought The bone fragments were once thought to be some of the oldest human fossils found in Japan.

This is just an example of how important it is to revisit materials from the early decades of archaeological/paleontological scientific development.

So, finally Bluesky started to get interesting for science. I hope the algorithm connects me with people interested in Archaeology, human evolution, native people in the Americas, popular science, lithic studies, hunter-gatherers, Experimental Archaeology, etc...

Então é esse aqui que vai substituir o Twitter no Brasil mesmo?
