Something special for the lithophiles for #FlintFriday and #FieldFriday - two ends of the Levallois spectrum from my survey yesterday in Luxor. I’ve never seen anything quite like either of them 🤩
This will probably be my last post on X/Twitter so follow https://t.co/jtA6GevnFZ
@ancientcraftUK A bit of everything… on the slopes it’s really tricky to unravel what is coming from the terraces higher up and what is raw material eroding. And it’s multiperiod in these slope scatters
Two new recommenders joined our community this week!
Welcome @ESHallinan and Amelia Bargallo !
They can handle your submitted manuscripts for lithic technology !

I’m super excited to be joining the Wadi Abu Subeira team with @aliceleplongeon in just a few weeks! Lovely raw material and great potential for understanding Late Pleistocene behaviour from this area
This beautiful fossilised wood flake resulted from tool production at Stone Age Wadi Abu Subeira 🇪🇬 #NationalFossilDay
Diverse materials were knapped at the site very selectively, highlighting early hominins' extensive knowledge of the environment.

@AbrunhosaPaleo That’s a really interesting point. It’s difficult to separate what is gender based trends and what is individual choice (perhaps who is immune or not to me bugging them for support in the event?!) Overall it is a struggle for engagement in outreach participation
@AbrunhosaPaleo The remaining man is the only participant to have a family and young child (all of whom are ill at the moment, yet he is still joining in)
@AbrunhosaPaleo I (plus two other women) am organising a sci comm event this week. Out of the 9 organisers/participants, only one is a man, and the only people (3) to pull out of the event after volunteering are men 🤷♀️
