Fab opportunity for AHPs and Nurses to join myself, my colleague @rifaarshad and wider team, in shaping and delivering services for people with LD in Bham. Due to part time/secondment nature of role a great chance to support own professional development in clinical leadership.

Pal-Meso day 2 offered very early Sapiens, not-so-late Neanderthals, stage 5 lithics(!), handaxes (spinning), handaxes (giant), necrophagy, hot springs, amazing pointy sticks, all of the Hoxnian, Hackney 300,000 BC, and the hunt for the last common ancestor [insert handaxe emoji]

Really enjoying the first PalMeso meeting there has been in years - and loved being able to fly the flag for Palaeolithic Scotland! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🦣 🦴 🦌 🦊 🐻 🦷

At the @britishmuseum for the second day of the Palaeolithic Mesolithic Meeting 2024. It is just so good to be here in person with everyone. We've missed this.

Day 2 of the British Museum Palaeolithic-Mesolithic Conference ✨
Yesterday, D. Daykin @ArcDurham
and I presented our devious plans of applying the methods of this article https://t.co/tt60gpI1o2… to #Magdalenian parietal art. The future is bright ☀️

[Dr Matt Pope @MatthewPope]

It's today! Looking forward to seeing lots of early prehistoric colleagues at the first Pal-Mes meeting since the pandemic.

Wow, c. 9,500 year-old woven baskets from a Spanish bat cave! 🤯

They look like they were made yesterday rather than by hunter-gatherers during the Mesolithic period!

Made of twined esparto grass, exceptionally well-preserved by dessication, they were discovered in the ‘Cueva de Los Murciélagos’ (Cave of the bats) during 19th-century mining activity. Originally thought to date to the Neolithic, recent analysis shows they are some 2,000 years older.

Beautiful Mesolithic baskets from the Cueva de los Murciélagos - the Cave of the Bats - in southern Spain - dating to more than 8000 years ago! Organic remains like this are so rare - here we get a precious glimpse of the richness of ancient cultures.

Highlights of BM Pal-Meso day 1 include learning to knap in Guildford, children painting caves, baskets from the Bat Cave, a Scottish mega bear, a teepee abandoned like a festival tent, medieval castle builders digging up hippos, and a 14C chronology for the entire Mesolithic 👍

A Roman dodecahedron unearthed on a community dig in Lincolnshire is the “find of a lifetime” and one of the finest examples of the rare mystery objects, archaeologists say https://t.co/CTHIBnAU4q
