📢Deadline Extended📢
Final week of abstract submissions for EAA2026 and Session 178 - Cave Sediments as Archives of Human-Environment Dynamics: Cross-Disciplinary Perspectives on Geoarchaeology & Micro-contextual Research! We look forward to seeing you all in Athens!

[Yannis Oikonomou @OikonomouYannis]

📢Call for Contributions! 📢
If you work on the (micro-) geoarchaeology of cave sediments, using micromorphological, chemical, or biomolecular approaches, this session #178 is for you!
There is still time to apply (deadline: 5th of February)!

🎉New article by our doctoral researcher Dominik Rogall on the paleoenvironment of Kalavan‐2 (MP; 60-35ka) based on small‐vertebrate assemblages! 🎉Published in the Journal of Quaternary Science!

New article from our doctoral researcher @DavidC_Nora is out!!! Check it out! 🎉🎉

Every flake tells a story! Our new paper shows that the byproducts of stone tool maintenance hold clues to ancient decision-making.
We introduce a new five-module system (M0–M4) that uncovers how prehistoric people maintained their tools. https://t.co/K6Sc2OAX3j
Check it!

This week I will be attending the 7th CONEXP in Liége, organized by @traceolab. I will be talking about how experimental archaeology can show hints about the efficiency of Lithic Raw Materials. @ICArEHB @TraCErMONREPOS @HumEnDyLAB

[HumEnDyLAB @HumEnDyLAB]

The first week of excavations and stratigraphic documentation at Dalarik-1 Cave was very successful! The trip to Kalavan village - and the homonymous Palaeolithic sites - was the best treat for a day-off! A stop at Gutanasar volcano was a must! @HumEnDyLAB #TransCause

[HumEnDyLAB @HumEnDyLAB]

Back to Armenia, back to Dalarik-1 Cave, with a large international team from Armenia, Spain, Israel, Greece, France, Portugal, Italy & beyond! Let the excavation of this unique Middle Pleistocene site start! 🎉 #TransCause @HumEnDyLAB

Congratulations @DavidC_Nora 🎉🎉🎉

Did you ever ask why people used so many different rocks in their tasks? If you had this question in your mind, go and check my new paper with my colleagues. https://t.co/xV0vfUYrIo

[HumEnDyLAB @HumEnDyLAB]

📢More Papers Alert📢
@DavidC_Nora and colleagues just published a research article on lithic technology and mobility, at Ararat-1 Cave (Armenia)! It is published in the Quaternary Science Reviews (open access)! Check it out!
Massive congratulations 🎉 🎉 🎉

[David Nora @DavidC_Nora]

My first paper of the PhD is out, we talk about Mobility and lithic technology at Ararat-1 Cave in Armenia. We also talk a bit about 👻 tools. Are you curious? Go and check it out! https://t.co/u882waio6N
