🎉📝Happy to announce our latest article has been published today in PeerJ! It builds on the results of my PhD but incorporates a new and exciting approach.
Here´s a thread with my view on the most relevant aspects of the study 🧵

New paper that shows
AI algorithms are capable of discerning between different raw materials just by looking at cut marks. The results look really promising on the experimental set. Next step: to apply these algorithms to real archaeological scenarios

A consistent pattern of butchery traces in some of the earliest anthropogenic sites in Africa shows that early hominins had primary access to complete carcasses and that meat was an essential part of their successful adaptation.

These days, one of the sites we are excavating is the Toll Cave. We are now on its Pleistocene levels that contain a large amount of cave bear remains! We will see what surprises the site keeps for us! #CovesdelToll#TollTeixoneres2021
The Toll-Teixoneres team, we are making a bubble group during our fieldwork, but we continue with our scientific lectures. Today we talk about the taphonomic alterations in the Toll Cave and how to distingish them. Thank you @_MarcosPM for your work! Photo: @ivrmpdrz

Some of our tweets are about #Taphonomy…, but what does a conservator do in an archaeological site? Lucía Hernández-Vivanco is a conservator of Cultural Heritage and she collaborates with the Institute of Evolution in Africa (IDEA) since 2018. Here is a little 🧵
🙋🏻♀️ Recently our colleague @LCoboSanchez defended her doctoral thesis "Taphonomic and spatial study of the archaeological site DS from Bed I in Olduvai Gorge (Tanzania)

Not all felids exhibit the same behavior during feeding. This is why we can distinguish carnivore-specific bone damage in the archaeological record. Want to know what characterizes lions? Keep reading!
Our tweets are usually about the modifications on bone surfaces. But what about the traces found on stone tools? Dr. Patricia Bello did a use-wear analysis of the lithics from the Acheulian site TK (Olduvai) for her doctoral dissertation. Here is what she did and what she found:
