Colourful illustration depicting a view of ethiopian landscape. Green grass, tents, a house and a bigger kitchen tent in blue.
The blue kitchen tent from Sodicho, Ethiopia. To the right team tents. Multiple people enjoying breakfast in the foggy morning.
The house from the old llustration but as photograph. Rammed earth, reddish brown House with metal roof. Enset fields to the right, green grass in the foreground and trees in the background.
Panorama of the excavation Camp at Sodicho, Ethiopia. Sky full of stormy Clouds, reddish brown earth, green trees, blue kitchen tent and smaller tents.
The CRC 806 ended 2021. One of the outcomes is a children's book by Cornelia Ziegler, out now. One of the rich illustrations shows our camp at Sodicho Cave, Ethiopia. Compare to my photos. Amazing site, now a piece of art for children. Love it.

Original rammed earth wall of the Kasbah of Silves, Portugal
Old almohad city wall in Sevilla, Spain. Plaza del Cabildo
Old City Wall, Sevilla, Spain
Religious buildings, palaces, ornaments and here different defensive walls of rammed earth and stone in Portugal and Spain. It was an intriguing journey through the Almohad Empire and adjacent times.

Koutoubia Mosque and Minarett in Marrakesh, Morocco. 12th century
Giralda in Sevilla. First minarett of almohad mosque in 12th century. Later bell tower of cathedral.
Real Alcazar in Sevilla
Bab Agnaou, Kasbah of Marrakesh, Morocco.
In the course of a year I visited Marrakesh in Marocco and Sevilla in Spain. Fascinating to see the 12th century connections, similarities, development and admixture of architecture styles till 19th century. So much history and complex processes of exchange in the material.

Das Foto zeigt mehrere große aufeinandergestapelte Sandsäcke, die einen provisorischen Küstenschutz. Am Ufer und auf den unteren, vorgelagerten Säcken laufen einige Kinder entlang, im Hintergrund ist schweres Gerät zu sehen. Der Himmel ist bewölkt, vorne liegt ruhiges Wasser.

Typical Denisova Research History: Random guy finds bones, hides bones, no context or archaeology, DNA saves the day.
Anyway, nice study and having a face is a good start to see eye to eye.

A hand axe made of flint displayed upright in a glass case, with a pointed, triangular shape and a textured, brownish surface. The background shows a blurred image of am outdoor landscape.
The Sprotta hand axe is a #Neanderthal masterpiece. The flint tool was found in northern Saxony in 1996 and dates back to 50,000 to 80,000 years ago. This hand axe demonstrates not only the technical skill but also the aesthetic sense of its maker, as it is noted for its carefully...🧵1/2

Die deutsche Botschafterin Daniela Vogl informiert sich bei einem Besuch der Ausgrabungen über archäologische Funde. Mike Lyons erläutert die Funddokumentation anhand ausgelegter Keramikfragmente.
Ein Mann (Mike Lyons) steht links an einem Tisch und spricht gestikulierend mit einer Frau (Daniela Vogl), die rechts im Bild mit verschränkten Armen zuhört. Auf dem Tisch liegen zahlreiche archäologische Fundstücke aus Ton, darunter Fragmente von Gefäßen und kleine Figuren. Im Hintergrund stehen beschriftete Kisten und Plastikboxen mit weiteren Fundmaterialien in einem Raum mit grünen Wänden und bodenlangen Jalousien.
An der Küste #Honduras' erforscht unsere #KAAK_DAI in einem @dfg.de-geförderten Projekt die vorspanischen Siedlungen in einer archäologisch wenig erkundeten Region.
Dort besuchte im Frühjahr auch Botschafterin @danielavogl.bsky.social die Ausgrabungen in Betulia:

Auch hier zeigt sich mal wieder: Wissenschaft ist eine soziale Tätigkeit und einfach besser gemeinsam als individualistisch einsam. Gegenseitig Texte lesen und besprechen oder gleich gemeinsam schreiben hilft mir auch enorm, mir beim Schreiben nicht so sehr selbst im Weg zu stehen.

this is great! the cognitive revolution stuff was always just a hypothesis based on eurocentrism. the data from Africa & Asia, have long disproved it. Good to see more EU data doing so as well
