@MW_hominin @HenkelStiftung Looking forward to analyzing the Jojosi Shelter artefacts soon and, most importantly, to continue the exciting and surprising excavations with you @MW_hominin

[Manuel Will @MW_hominin]

I'm grateful to @HenkelStiftung for funding "The Jojosi Shelter Excavation Project – Understanding prehistoric land-use and raw material provisioning in southeastern South Africa". A great site that looked promising in test excavations 2025 by my PhD student @Gunther_Moeller !

@MW_hominin @NatureComms The refitting of these sequences was indeed time consuming, but also incredibly rewarding! Reconstructing snapshots of MSA knappers truly opens a window to the past.

🚨 Publication alert🚨 Early humans in South Africa were quarrying stone as long as 220,000 years ago at the site of Jojosi @NatureComms - specialized, long-term use of a source of a raw material source in Stone Age Africa: Read the paper #openaccess here https://t.co/voLb42s6of

[Manuel Will @MW_hominin]

The open-air sites demonstrate these behaviors over tens of thousands or years from ~220,000-110,000 years ago with perfectly preserved assemblages including dozens of refits (done in painstaiking work by @Gunther_Moeller !)

A talk that I presented today in person at the #SAfA2025 in Faro and had pre-recorded. Jojosi lithics rock, if it fits it fits! 😋 Click! Thanks for the opportunity @MW_hominin and to all the session and conference organizers!

@MarinaZfg @MW_hominin Thank you so much 😊 Hope you are doing good!

[Gunther Möller @Gunther_Moeller]

Revisited and revalorized: Thanks to the joint efforts of the Jojosi team in the last year, our manuscript about Jojosi 1 has been published today at JPA! MSA open-air hornfels knapping workshops rock! Thanks @MW_hominin for your support!

A nice little article for a broad audience about the Jojosi project at the Daily Maverick. Yves who wrote it is amazing in summing up nerdy facts nicely 😋
