In three days on Thursday, we will tour around the globe during the Middle Pleistocene and wil stop at Dalarik 1 cave Armenia. Please join the ride, drop us an email for a link

Our symposium on Middle Pleistocene behavioral variability with special focus on Dalarik-1 Cave (Armenia) is just a day away! Join us at📍Room 520, Mt. Scopus Campus, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, or 💻 online (via zoom)! See you all tomorrow @humendylab.bsky.social #TransCausd!

Less than two weeks until our symposium. Please drop me an email if you would like a zoom link

The session is co-organised by @dianamrczz.bsky.social, Thomas Beard and myself 😊

📢Deadline Extended📢
Final week of abstract submissions for EAA2026 and Session 178 - Cave Sediments as Archives of Human-Environment Dynamics: Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives on Geoarchaeology & Micro-contextual Research!
We look forward to seeing you all in Athens!

New article from our doctoral researcher @norarch.bsky.social is out! Check it out!!! 🎉🎉🎉

The first week of excavations and stratigraphic documentation at Dalarik-1 Cave was very successful! The trip to Kalavan village - and the homonymous Palaeolithic sites - was the best treat for a day-off! A stop at Gutanasar volcano was a must! @humendylab.bsky.social #TransCause

Volcanos, glacial lakes, #Kalavan, and new friends #Armenia @humendylab.bsky.social

Paleolithic hominin occupations and Quaternary geomorphological evolution in the NE Ararat Depression (Armenia) The Ararat Depression, at the crossroads of Africa and Eurasia, spans Armenia, Turkey and Iran, providing a unique natural laboratory for studying lan…

📢New research paper, led by Theo Karampaglidis & colleagues, integrates geomorphological mapping & sediment analysis & dating (Cosmogenic Nuclides & OSL) to reconstruct environmental history over the past 900,000 years in Ararat Depression! Open access: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Our new study lead produced enhanced paleo‑geomorphological mapping of the Ararat Depression to decode how shifting landforms shaped human movement and settlement in the Late Pleistocene
