DISPERSCAPES Project

Australian Research Council funded project, directed by A/Prof Mike Morley, reconstructing environments of early human dispersal to Southeast Asia & Australia

[DISPERSCAPES Project @Disperscapes]

Disperscapes members Mike, Vito and Meghan are delighted to have contributed to this brilliant research paper, collaborating with a truly fantastic team!

[Sarah Freidline @FreidlineSarah]

Very happy to have been part of this project, and I want to thank everyone involved for a great collaboration!! 🥳 @Indi750 @ingatkatandaan @lumilicious @UCFAnthroDept https://t.co/AbqeMVhFSp

[Mike Morley @MikeGeoarch]

More crucial geoarchaeological data generated in the Flinders Microarchaeology Laboratory by the @Disperscapes team!! This time to contextualise early evidence of our species in Southeast Asia

@Flinders @FLINArchaeology

[Mike Morley @MikeGeoarch]

Microarchaeology is the future of Archaeological Science!!

Fantastic paper by Meghan! Loving the research coming out of this project @Disperscapes.

[Mike Morley @MikeGeoarch]

And another fantastic talk today on Tam Pa Ling Cave, Laos, this time by Meghan McAllister at AQUA on biomarkers preserved in the cave sediments. Another reason to be a proud supervisor - I have such great PhD students! @Indi750 @Flinders @FLINArchaeology @Disperscapes

[Vito Hernandez @ingatkatandaan]

Presenting work forming part of the larger @Disperscapes project led by @MikeGeoarch and of course my PhD @FLINArchaeology in @Flinders that hopefully set the background for the kind of biomarker preservation Meghan McAllister talks about later today #AAA2022 @AustArchaeology

[Mike Morley @MikeGeoarch]

Vito Hernandez @ingatkatandaan is doing fantastic work on the #micromorphology of sediments from Tam Pa Ling, Laos. I am a very proud supervisor. This work is in collaboration with @Indi750 and the rest of the TPL team! @Disperscapes #geoarchaeology #AAA2022 @Flinders

[GARG @PalaeoGARG]

Great talk by Meghan McAllister presenting at the #AEIC2022 on Tam Pa Ling palaeo environment. @Disperscapes @MikeGeoarch

[Vito Hernandez @ingatkatandaan]

Fantastic month for the @Disperscapes project from @FLINArchaeology. Last week was at the @ippa2022 in Chang Mai, this week it's at the #AEIC2022. Both on research in Tam Pa Ling, Laos to contextualise early modern humans in their Pleistocene! environments

[DISPERSCAPES Project @Disperscapes]

Congratulations to our Disperscapes team member Vito @ingatkatandaan on a great presentation at @ippa2022, sharing snippets of his microstratigraphic research!

[Vito Hernandez @ingatkatandaan]

Thanks for capturing this moment @palaeophd!

Yes, done and dusted this presentation at the @ippa2022. It was a great session. I certainly picked up points to include in the PhD, so thank you to @Flinders and the @Disperscapes project for funding my participation here! #WorthIt!

[DISPERSCAPES Project @Disperscapes]

Congratulations to Svante! What an achievement and how cool is it that our Disperscapes team leader @MikeGeoarch has worked and published with him!!

[Mike Morley @MikeGeoarch]

I have been very fortunate to work and publish with Nobel Prize winner Svante Pääbo. Some of the early ideas for our paper in @PNASNews this year on the #microstratigraphic context of aDNA came from a chat with Svante about a potential combined #geoarchaeology & #aDNA study

[DISPERSCAPES Project @Disperscapes]

Congratulations @dr_marpol on your new publication! @FLINArchaeology

[Martin Polkinghorne @dr_marpol]

New publication! Excited to be amongst esteemed peers and offer the concluding chapter in this landmark volume on Early #Theravadin #Cambodia @FLINArchaeology

[DISPERSCAPES Project @Disperscapes]

Congratulations @MikeGeoarch and fellow authors on this fantastic paper! Go check it out!

[Mike Morley @MikeGeoarch]

Check out our new paper reporting a tooth we found in a cave in Laos that we believe belonged to a Denisovan!

We have #microstratigraphic context too!

What a month it has been for Disperscapes! Team member Meghan McAllister is first author on this review paper discussing the application of stable isotope techniques to reconstruct local palaeoenvironments across Pleistocene arch sites in SE Asia!

Big news this morning. Our paper is out in #PNAS: we micro-contextualise precise origins of #aDNA in archaeological sediment using #micromorphology and #palaeogenetics. Great to work with colleagues from @MPI_EVA_Leipzig on this. @Flinders @FLINArchaeology
