Hi Tweeps, I have a student, Tumisang @thabo_alfeo who is doing a Masters project on African tribal Scarification. Please help me get the word of this survey out to as many colleagues in African countries as we can!! Thank you!!!

While aquatic resource exploitation was a ‘fallback’ option for some of Lesotho's highland hunter-gatherers, there is considerable variability https://t.co/NGJcXvLN2K

Here we demonstrate how 'simple' surface fires significantly increase silcrete flake edge sharpness. Selection for heat treatment likely linked to concerns over functional performance.

Here, we explore whether a modern thermoplastic adhesive can serve as a replacement for two organic adhesives used by past peoples – pine rosin and hide glue – in modern experimental tests of prehistoric weaponry. @CSHO_NYU @AnthroKentState https://t.co/RcyJqrH59q

Hey folks! Awhile back I tweeted about making a #microfauna ID guide for myself based on teeth drawings from my PhD but as I've slowly been working on it, it seems like it would be useful for lots of people. Suggestions on ways to publish #openaccess?

#LanguageMatters

let’s celebrate HERItage month by confronting the language of science and how we can do better with decolonizing our research.

Tune in Mon 21 Sept 6pm SAST for this @DiggingInZA @heri_uct collab with your host @Robyn_Angelique + guests @AstroSibs @noma_golam

MC Hammer retweeted me!😆 In the late 80’s, I was the only black female environmental science major at my school so my undergrad theme songs were U Can’t Touch This & 2 Legit 2 Quit! Thank you MC for helping me dance my way to success!🙏🏽 #BlackinGeoscienceWeek #BlackInGeoscience

It's officially SPRING 🌸!
#Arborweek2020 is a time to celebrate the beauty and importance of trees, especially trees that are indigenous to South Africa 🇿🇦 🌳!
Take the advice of these learners and plant a tree to reduce your carbon footprint 😉 https://t.co/Mkwk6MoAsJ

Lithic miniaturization during the period from ~30-10 ka in southern Africa was a strategic choice rather than an inevitable technological outcome https://t.co/1XBdhQzFUr
