New paper out on a controlled experiment of Levallois flaking by Sam Lin, @Ceciliabm_, @clarchaeology and former UOW students Matthew McNaughton and Amy Innes. Another great example of student research training in archaeology @UOW https://t.co/KyVmwkco4X

[UOW Archaeology @CAS_UOW]

📢New study by Alex Mackay and UOW students Jack McGarry and Ella Boss on experimental heat treatment of silcrete. Excellent example of student research training & involvement @UOW

Two papers out in @ELSenviron Quaternary Science Reviews involving Zenobia Jacobs and Rosaria Saktura on dating sites in South Africa, including a high-resolution chronology for the important site of Pinnacle Point in Western Cape.

📢Have a look at the latest paper by PhD student Lolita Trenchat. We are so proud of our archaeology PhD students! https://t.co/tsFECRdH1g

[UOW Archaeology @CAS_UOW]

Prof Li Bo and colleagues have a new paper out in PNAS. Well done! https://t.co/uFZ4nKmsuz

Looks like archaeology at UOW did very well https://t.co/503L1vSPnZ👏

[Eline Schotsmans @ElineMarieS]

Conferences play a critical role in academic & prof. development of students. Despite the negative impact of @UOW travel ban (+ its many other neg decisions) my two students Alexandra🥇& Lolita 🥈received the 1st and 2nd Student Presentation Prize at the #ASHB2024 Conference🏆

Many thanks for everyone's support! Our community stands together ❤️

Some of the best archaeologist in Australia are based @CAS_UOW @UOW
Including @ElineMarieS:

Archaeology continues, no matter what the future brings. Eline Schotsmans is giving a lecture at Hacettepe University in Ankara @UOW @UOWEnviro

[Ezgi Altınışık @ezgimou]

Yarın Hacettepe Antropoloji'de iki harika sunum var. @ElineMarieS çalıştığı ceset çiftliğindeki deneyler hakkında konuşacak. Marco ise Kuzey İtalya ve İsviçre'de insan hareketliliği ve ölü gömme geleneklerini anlatacak.

[Cecilia Barroso-Medina @Ceciliabm_]

Great experience! I had a great opportunity to talk a bit about my research, share my experience in Australia and even sing (I am not quitting my day job for this last thing).

[Eline Schotsmans @ElineMarieS]

Very proud of Lily, my exchange master student from Bordeaux!

[UOW Archaeology @CAS_UOW]

Our annual SEALS HDR conference at Thirroul Surf Club was a success @uowresearch 🔝location and 🔝 HDR Organising Committee @UOWEnviro ! Especially proud of the archaeology docs and postdocs 🥼🩻! #ThisIsUOW

[Environmental Futures @ UOW @UOWEnviro]

First large-scale study on bone surface diagenesis uncovers key histotaphonomic changes in modern bones exposed to surface conditions. EF member @ElineMarieS experimentally shows that unvalidated assumptions in #histotaphonomy are incorrect.

[UOW Archaeology @CAS_UOW]

Fantastic workshop @UOW on stone tools, cultural evolution and the emergence of language, organised by Ronald Planer (SOLA). Lots of valuable interdisciplinary discussion and knowledge exchange!

[UOW Archaeology @CAS_UOW]

Very interesting talk and discussion today by @CTennie on the evolution of Human Culture @UOWEnviro Thanks for your visit, Claudio!

[UOW Archaeology @CAS_UOW]

Congratulations to Corey O'Driscoll on publishing another paper on his PhD research. The study explores the technological organisation of Early Middle Stone Age at Mertenhof, South Africa during MIS 5. https://t.co/e52vOeNNmV

[Eline Schotsmans @ElineMarieS]

Finally out @PLOSONE ! First large-scale study on bone diagenesis and #histotaphonomy in modern humans providing a lack of support for the assumed relationship between putrefaction and bone histology erosion. + Pigs are not to be used for bone biodegradation research @uowresearch

[UOW Archaeology @CAS_UOW]

Congratulations to @Ceciliabm_ on publishing her first PhD paper! The @PLOSONE study presents the design of a synthetic hammerstone that can measure percussion force during stone knapping experiments. @UOW @uowresearch https://t.co/JlZuAin5ES
