When it comes to convincing people to act in the best interest of society, can influential figures make a difference? A new paper by @StefaniCrabtree, Simon Levin, @CDWren and Avinash Dixit published in @PNASNexus, shows that influencers can play a valuable role in convincing others to act in the best interest of society.

🚨Another new paper!

Delighted to have worked on this @Nature paper 'Frequent disturbances enhanced the resilience of past human populations'

It explores how populations absorb and recover from disturbances using #archaeology data

My dept is holding a crowdfunding campaign to support our summer archaeology 🏺 field school. Our uni serves the relatively low-income southern Colorado and all money will be used to offset student costs of equipment and tuition. Any amount is welcome! https://t.co/dkpm0KIgUe

[Flint Dibble 🍖🏺 @FlintDibble]

Hi all, I appeared on the Joe Rogan Experience yesterday for an in-depth chat with Graham Hancock (link in next tweet)

You can read my essay about my motivations for doing this in @SAPIENS_org magazine

Are there available 3d models of Homo longi or the Harbin skull? I'm attempting to print Xiahe right now and I was hoping to further expand my teaching collection

@ethafidi @kabweordie Where is this pile anyway?! I have to clean up my classroom after each napping session which is a real drag 😂

In need of formal training for your past network research? We all are! That's why today we are launching a new long-term institution: the annual Barcelona Past Networks Summer School. By #connectedpast and @HNR_org and many more https://t.co/0feX30QjG6 1/6

An excellent report in @ConversationUK by @fynbospollen on our ongoing work to build high-resolution coupled terrestrial climate-vegetation records for the African MSA-LSA transition.

Here is our new paper out in @BiolJLinnSoc investigating modelling approaches (particularly #ABM) in reconstructing large mammal populations in extinct landscapes.

Great news! An @ERC_Research #ERCStG to #AIASFellow @Iza_Romanowska for her project 'THE MODEL CITY' to investigate long-term urban evolution and the resilience of cities by combining cutting-edge computer technologies with large archaeological datasets🎉 https://t.co/JZtzteItF0

My new paper "Explaining Known Past Routes, Underdetermination, and the Use of Multiple Cost Functions" has been accepted for publication in the Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory!!! 🥳🥳🥳

[Jens Notroff @jens2go]

Wow, simply … mindblowing. 🤯

An unmade bed. So what? - An unmade bed left 1,944 years ago in #Pompeii!

This is how #archaeology is about people, not things.

(Thanks a lot for sharing these fantastic on site impressions, Sophie! 👏)

Still time to apply! Fully-funded PhD position on the genetics & proteomics of prehistoric SE Asian and Oceanian individuals.

Open-science practices don't (all) require big investments of time and effort. This great post by @daxkellie and @westgatecology introduces small and achievable steps to improve R code reproducibility that can have a big impact https://t.co/8XBc5Ifl3b

Pretty sick heat-treated silcrete point from PP5-6

Today’s work underground in the Dragon’s Back chamber was amazing, so impressed with what @Keneiloe and team have done. And then, a surprise from another site!

[Colin D. Wren @CDWren]

@PattMeeples Great! The plots and characters shift a lot through the series but I really enjoyed the overall package
