If you are interested in paleoenvironmental biomarkers and sedimentary lipids as windows to past human behavior (diet, fire technology and settlement patterns) you can read the Open Access article here: cell.com/iscience/fullt…
📢It's Friday and we have a new paper out! This is an important review for geoarchaeologists that is focused on studies that apply lipid biomarkers to archaeological sedimentary deposits, led by @MallolC, with @thethinsection, @mrgjmbr and A.V. Herrera-Herrera 👩🔬#Archaeology
Spent the start of the week at a @JNCC_UK marine eDNA workshop, discussing how to advance the technique in UK marine monitoring 🧬 Amazing to be in the same room as so many skilled and experienced people!
📢 New paper alert! Co-authored by @mrgjmbr and @MallolC: "A First Look at the Gravettian Open-Air Site Ollersdorf-Heidenberg (Austria): Recent Fieldwork and First Results on Stratigraphy, Chronology, Organic Preservation and Combustion Activity" 🔥 @ULL link.springer.com/article/10.100…
🪵Paper Alert! 🧐 New publication on Experimental🔥 to study wellbeing in prehistoric communities from Paleolithic Robledo et al. 2025 "When smoke is in the air: An experimental approach to characterise fuel emissions on past humans dwellings" #mscactions doi.org/10.1016/j.jasr…
Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!🎄✨ #Geoarchaeology #Archaeology
🔥 Our paper is out! "Was fire use a cultural trait of the Gravettian?" New micro-archaeological data from Fuente del Salín cave (Spain) 🪵🧑🔬 Dive into prehistoric pyrotechnology: stacked hearths, burnt beddings & fire strategies! 👉 bit.ly/3BtD3kF @unican @ICArEHB
Such a special moment, a small Late Middle Palaeolithic Biface fresh from the ground & I'm the first person to hold it since discard by a Neanderthal person ~60k years ago, discovered during a @ArchSouthEast development-led project, Hove, Sussex in 2021 #FlintFriday #FindsFriday
#FLAHME y #FireTools 2024 Vinimos a Burgos a hacer otra ronda de experimentos 🔥 Estamos en @PaleoliticoVivo midiendo emisiones de la leña en contextos de invierno (y porque no, algo de lluvia)
