Wooot! Ben and I were co-editors for an edited volume a while ago. An amazing scholar and an awesome human. Check it out! #HalafTwitter
This, from “Science” magazine yesterday, by the excellent B. Arbuckle - human history is actually changing before our eyes.
Appropriate. #HalafTwitter
#HalafTwitter Is this Sefer Tepe??? All these new sites in Urfa are blowing my mind.
Dünya Neolitik Kongresi sırasında tüm katılımcılarca ziyaret edilen Taş Tepeler Kazıları, diğer adıyla Şanlıurfa Neolitik Çağ Araştırmaları Projesi, Şanlıurfa’da yerleşik yaşamın başlangıcından yerleşik ve besin üretimine dayalı köy yaşantısının bütünüyle benimsendiği döneme+
#HalafTwitter Oh the memories. 👀
#HalafTwitter Me, too!!!
My wife sent me this great picture from her trip to the World Neolithic Congress in Şanlıurfa 🇹🇷: hundreds of archaeologists from around the world swarming the Neolithic site of Karahan Tepe. So jealous I'm not there 😢
Aaaaaagh why am I not there.
Someone please go to Maden Sokak and take pics all up and down the street, I'm begging for updates on what our former excavation house looks like now. And all the cats!!!!!! #Şanlıurfa @WNC2024 #HalafTwitter
Exciting times in Neolithic research these days! Looking forward to meet the scientific community from all over the world at @WNC2024 in #Şanlıurfa starting tonight! 🥳
I'm looking for the supposedly 17 ha Halaf mound at Nusaybin (does anyone know where it is??) and I ran into this nearby. Does anyone out there have any historical insight into what and who this is referring to? #HalafTwitter
@DalrympleWill
@jens2go @TasTepeler @ArkeoNews Remind me that I really, really need to finally publish my ceramic sherd picturing a running onager that is very much like this this fall. #HalafTwitter
Cinnabar?! #HalafTwitter
The cranium was painted red with cinnabar, a pigment often used to decorate bones at the site. Two freshwater shells containing the same pigment were also found in the pit.
Ooooh juicy thread!! You gotta love a Neolithic macehead, they're ...important. #HalafTwitter
This intricately carved marble macehead was found at the #Neolithic site of Çatalhöyük 🇹🇷 in 2016. The level of detail and craftsmanship is unparalleled in the Neolithic of southwest Asia. #FindsFriday
As I've mentioned before, I've only ever had one dream that was supposed to take place in the Late Neolithic/Halaf: someone was dancing outdoors dressed as a huge black vulture. Probably inspired by some of the Çatalhöyük faunal data. #HalafTwitter
Had a dream last night that I was a ghost in an Iron Age roundhouse watching a little old lady cooking stew in a cauldron. Some kids were sat on the floor, transfixed as she told a story, using the flesh hook and cauldron as props to punctuate the story. I was like, I KNEW IT
Why couldn't Late Neolithic/Halaf people do something friendly and convenient for us like illustrating their whole ritual landscape in a model?? 😅 #HalafTwitter
Very sorry to hear the news of the passing of legendary archaeologist #PattyJoWatson, who, among other work, co-directed the 1st excavation of a Late Neolithic/Halaf site that held to Processual archaeology's methodological standards at Girikihaciyan in SE Türkiye. #HalafTwitter
@KUHoopes Oh, we in #HalafTwitter cover all of the Neolithic in SW Asia (and elsewhere when relevant). Although I admit to a bias to my peeps, since the Halaf is ignored elsewhere & generally a questionable career and research choice! 😅
I salute you, O Holy #SamarranTwitter! 😅
#HalafTwitter Alert, new Trevor Watkins book!
Intentional Halaf head deformation. #HalafTwitter
#HalafTwitter Got to read that WG16 lit.
Similarities between Early Neolithic WF16 (southern Jordan) and Göbekli Tepe (Anatolia) suggest that expansive social networks with shared symbolism and ideology underpinned the emergence of farming.
Throwback to research published #OnThisDay in 2023 🆓 https://t.co/TSdKS0jDlD
I feel like this original #TeamBoar art by the amazing @VPellicerArt for March Mammal Madness #2024MMM deserves some Pre-Pottery Neolithic and #HalafTwitter love given how important they were, no? @jens2go
HOLD. UP. We had TIGERS in ancient #Türkiye?! I knew we had Persian leopards and cheetahs, but Caspian TIGERS?!
For the record, I have never seen them show up in any #zooarchaeology assemblage. Has anyone else?! #HalafTwitter #2024MMM
Once the most widely distributed tiger subspecies, the now extinct Caspian Tiger ranged from Turkey through Central Asia into NW China. The Soviet Union placed bounties on the Caspian Tiger and that brought out the bounty hunters. (Chestin et al. 2017). #2024MMM
