The Bronze Age vs The AI Age
1/ Can archaeology predict the future of Big Tech?
Economists usually look back 50-150 years; archaeologists look back further.
When you look at the Bronze Age Collapse (c. 1200 BCE), are there any parallels to our current AI trajectory?

We discovered a nearly complete bison skeleton in the Sima de Arrafela (Urbasa-Andia Natural Park, Navarre). Dated to ~4000 BP, the remains include a Chalcolithic copper arrowhead embedded between the ribs. This is the most recent bison found in the Iberian Peninsula

Wild European bison can thrive in a wide variety of landscapes - including human-dominated ones.

Happy to share the new virtual collection of comparative anatomy, SKELETONS ONLINE (cor.iphes.cat).
The specimens come from the comparative anatomy collection of @iphes-cerca.bsky.social , in Tarragona (Spain).
Please, use it and share!!!
Mañana estaremos en Sevilla para participar en el congreso internacional sobre el lince ibérico organizado por #LIFEProject Life LynxConnect. Tenemos una sesión sobre los origenes del lince iberico. Mas info: lifelynxconnect.eu/congreso-int...

We are finding a large amount of plastic debris in the nests of various urban bird species. In fact, we found 94 items in a single nest, a new personal (and sad) record. I hope we can publish the results of this project next year.

Selected remains for identifying the representative taxa studied in Malia. A) Proximal phalange (J19-92-UE9) and talus (J21-100-UE4) of Cervus elaphus; B) Talus (J20-6-UE17) of Capreolus capreolus; C) Left malleolus (J20-15-UE4) of Bison priscus; D) Talus (I19-58-UE9) and proximal phalange (J19-18-UE9) of Rupicapra pyrenaica; E) From left to right, a lower molar/premolar (K19-85-UE4), a lower p2 (I19-189-UE4) and a lower molar/premolar (K20-28-UE4) of Equus ferus.

The adaptability of populations who inhabited this region during MIS-3 facing severe climatic conditions.
Neolithic cannibalism in Spain’s Sierra de Atapuerca. New evidence of cannibalism among farming communities over 5,700 years ago. Victims were locals, not outsiders. Not linked to famine — likely tied to intergroup violence.

Two important papers for understanding the way of life (paleoecology and diet) in the Middle Pleistocene (pre-Neanderthals and Neanderthals) have been published today — one of them is ours. 🦴🦴🍗🍖☠️

Hay muchas formas de definir civilización. Una de ellas debería ser la capacidad de cuidar de la Tierra y de los seres que la habitan, de mantener y respetar la vida. Y desde este punto de vista, las comunidades aborígenes son de las más civilizadas del planeta.
26.06.2025 11:26 — 👍 77 🔁 13 💬 1 📌 1Good observation. In Atapuerca sites it's not uncommon to see units labeled from top to bottom, particularly when the stratigraphy was first described during excavation, rather than based purely on sedimentological deposition. A non-standard but internally consistent convention.
