Australian universities’ archaeologists are world class. They’re undertaking important research in Saudi Arabia & Oman shaping thinking about early human movement from Africa through Arabia. I was fascinated to hear from @LTUArchaeology’s @Matt_MWilliams about his work, 🙏. MD🇦🇺
Exciting talk by @romangarba on cosmogenic nuclides for dating prehistoric sites - fabulous work at #Korolevo (western #Ukraine) and East-to-West dispersal into Europe 1.5-1.3 million years ago. Huge potential for new and old excavations 🤩🤩

Beautiful stuff! More than 500 figures of camels, hunters, horses, turtles, cuttlefish, medusas, ostriches and lions, and 200 inscriptions in South Arabian script. Quite unique variety for the whole of Arabia. Hopefully this open-air gallery will be published in full.
A showcase of seven years of Archaeological research in Duqm of TSMO, ARDUQ and LARiO expeditions and more! Students from local schools will visit the exhibition in May.
Just caught up with my dearest friend Luke who I surfed and hiked with back in the day. He's hiking Hadrian's Wall to raise money for MND, which he got diagnosed with last year.
