A year ago, written about @AnilkumarDevara 's finds in Andhra Pradesh

Natives of Africa, ostriches once made India their home. Oldest nest in Andhra is further proof https://t.co/nsNeZVfDbC

@Freshfromthefield we found the evidence of Late Pleistocene veld fires in the form of burnt termite nests and burnt clay patches associated with burnt animal bones from Southern Andhra Pradesh, India as part of the @TheLeakeyFndtn funded research.....more information soon

#freshfromthefield Hundreds of Ostrich Egg shell fragments from Late Pleistocene contexts identified at Motravulapadu, Andhra Pradesh, Southeast India part of the @TheLeakeyFndtn funded research. Probably a clutch. More information soon. Thanks to @TheLeakeyFndtn @atypical_SAPIEN

@atypical_SAPIEN @MDPetraglia 125 ka? Is it dated?

[Devara Anil @AnilkumarDevara]

@amjukar @MDPetraglia @palaeolicious Yes it seems ...but unfortunately these specimens are not available for further analysis

[Devara Anil @AnilkumarDevara]

@atypical_SAPIEN Just to clarify that these lithics datable to terminal Middle Pleistocene has nothing to do with discussions on the continuity of middle palaeolithic technology in the region through Toba eruption presented in the paper.

[Devara Anil @AnilkumarDevara]

@atypical_SAPIEN These are the representative artefacts from above YTT sediments (datable to 64 ka) from the region

[Devara Anil @AnilkumarDevara]

@atypical_SAPIEN These are the representative artefacts from below YTT sediments ( datable to 76 ka; close to time of eruption)from the region

[Devara Anil @AnilkumarDevara]

@atypical_SAPIEN Yeah... but the lithics represented in this figure are way older than 74ka Toba eruption.....i cannot mention the date here now but it is terminal Middle Pleistocene

After a long Covid break, we began our in person workshops for children, beginning with exploring human evolution and prehistory. Here they are excavating a mock trench: part of a 3 hr long work shop
