Is micro-CT scanning really non-destructive for fossils? See our last piece in @ConversationEDU. @CENIEH @Palaeo_diet @latrobe @ARCHE_Griffith
A common scanning method used to create ‘virtual copies’ of precious fossils could be erasing some of the crucial information held within. @Mat_Duv64 @MonashUni theconversation.com/scientists-cou…
Does X-ray micro-CT scanning impact radiocarbon dating of fossils? Short answer: Yes. Not directly the radiocarbon age, but collagen preservation for sure. See more here (free access): cambridge.org/core/journals/… @CENIEH @ARCHE_Griffith
Un nuevo trabajo de Campaña et al. en la revista internacional Quaternary Geochronology se centra en la caracterización y datación del apatito geológico en Atapuerca, un mineral poco estudiado hasta ahora. Trabajo disponible aquí: doi.org/10.1016/j.quag…. @CENIEH @CENIEH_Labs

Just published in QEH: a new team work led by @Eslembenarous providing new numerical ages for the Middle Stone Age locality of Bargny (Senegal). Free access here: doi.org/10.1016/j.qeh.…. @CENIEH @CENIEH_Labs @CENIEH_Geo2 @ARCHE_Griffith @LTUArchaeology
Pleased to share our last work providing the first petrophysical results from the HR analysis of 80 m-long sediment cores drilled at Barranco León, Orce, Spain. This should give us a robust framework for future dating studies. link.springer.com/article/10.100…. @CENIEH @CENIEH_Geo2
New dating results for various fossil localities of the Argentinian Pampas. Happy to share our last work by Prado et al. in QSR (free download): authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S02…. @CENIEH @CENIEH_Geo2 @ARCHE_Griffith @latrobe @Ozarchaeomaglab @LTUArchaeology

New postdoc opportunity (22-month contract) in Biogeochemistry at @ARCHE_Griffith, to work on Julien Louys’ ARC Discovery Project 'Human Use of Early Tropical Forest Ecosystems'. More info here: jobs.smartrecruiters.com/GriffithUniver…
El estudio geocronológico fecha en ~0,8 Ma el sitio P13 (Pirro Nord, Italia) contradiciendo los estudios biocronológicos (1,3-1,7 Ma). Allí se encontraron unos 400 artefactos líticos Modo 1, por tanto, de los más antiguos de Europa occidenal. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
Pleased to share our last work on Pirro Nord, just published in QG: authors.elsevier.com/a/1ixq-6fS6-jr…. This is the first dating study of one of the oldest archaeological site in Western Europe, providing somewhat unexpected results. @CENIEH @CENIEH_Geo2 @ARCHE_Griffith @LTUArchaeology
Post-doc opportunity to join the @icegroup_unil working on ESR-thermochronometry! (Prior experience of ESR not essential!) Deadline March 8th! See here for more details: tinyurl.com/m4pwmpb8
Well done Julien @ARCHE_Griffith! Glad to be part of this interesting project on the 'Age and geological context of an early modern human fossil deposit from Vietnam'. @CENIEH @CENIEH_Geo2
