📣New article alert: "Evidence from Tinshemet Cave in Israel suggests behavioural uniformity across Homo groups in the Levantine mid-Middle Palaeolithic circa 130,000–80,000 years ago"

Congratulations to the amazing team!

"We began the fight to give voice to the women that suffered on October 7, by bearing witness. By exposing ourselves to the horrors without a filter. In terror. And with the understanding that if we don’t cry out for our sisters, no one will. And if they silence us, we will shout louder. Across the world. That’s what we did, and that’s what we must continue to do."

Last night at Tzavta, I joined a powerful gathering of women who shared stories of resilience and courage, honoring the strength that has emerged in the face of unimaginable pain since October 7th. It was an evening devoted to lifting voices, fostering healing, and standing united in the fight for justice that continues to echo worldwide.

Eden Yerushalmi, a beautiful 24-year-old woman—vibrant, energetic, and dancing through life with a big smile on her face.

Eden Yerushalmi—frightened, weak, scared, broken, hurt, and extremely disappointed.

Eden Yerushalmi was murdered in captivity after having survived almost 11 months of a living nightmare.

We sould have saved her. We sould have brought her back alive, allowing her story to continue with new, brighter chapters.

The Hostages Families Forum bows its head in mourning for the murder in captivity of Ori Danino, Almog Sarusi, Hersh Goldberg-Polin, Alexander Lobanov, Carmel Gat, and Eden Yerushalmi, may their memory be a blessing.

These six hostages, kidnapped alive on October 7th, were later murdered while in captivity.
They could have been reunited with their families if a deal had been reached earlier.

Our sister laboratory in Haifa, led by Dr. Gadi Herzlinger, is searching for outstanding PhD and Post-Doctoral candidates to work on the curation of lithics in novel quantitative and computational methodologies!
What are you waiting for?
