I‘m proud to announce the publication of the first ever article I contributed to. It contains large parts of my B.A. thesis about the El-Wad points of Al Ansab 1. Special thanks to my co-authors @JuergenR58 and @GennaiJacopo who made a short thread about the content (see below).

I am really staggered that our @fast_cologne paper on the #Ahmarian site of #AlAnsab1 is online in the Journal of #Paleolithic #Archaeology. To illustrate the findings here a short 🧵1/

An unforgettable experience for our lab! 🧬✨We had the privilege to meet Dr. Svante Pääbo, Nobel Prize winner in Medicine 2022 for his pioneering work on the Neanderthal genome. 🧬It was an incredible opportunity to discuss our research with him.

Preprint alert! 🚨Happy to share our work on a key challenge in content analysis: coder bias – the systematic variation in annotations driven by individual characteristics when coding with human or LLMs. Let’s break it down… https://t.co/z7iKRvKtbz #Bias #Research #Methods #AI

Sonja Tomasso and Marcel Schemmel are participating in the "Experimentation with Prehistoric Tools" workshop at Arkéos in Douai this week. Thanks to the @david_herisson & @AnTET_ArScAn for the warm welcome and seamless organisation! #Prehistoricworkshop

Happy to announce that I joined @traceolab this week as a PhD student. I will conduct a functional analysis on convergent points from the Middle Palaeolithic (northern France) and Middle Stone Age (South Africa).

@samawi_osama Didn’t want to comment 😂 as you know I’m more a fan of Maqluba

[Marcel Schemmel @lecramsch]

@samawi_osama Wow, this looks awesome! Stunning how your knapping skills evolved over the past years!

Last year we began to display our grid/spit system on a whiteboard next to the trench and constantly updating it. It proved to be extremely helpful in maintaining an overview and avoiding unnecessary mistakes. #BK2023

This year’s excavation campaign of Bad Kösen-Lengefeld is already in it’s second week. The heat is being tough! Good thing the Saale isn’t far away. #BK2023

[Robin John @R_John_Arch]

Awesome! Our first case study paper on PyREnArA is finally published.

Throwback to our last campaign at the site of Al-Ansab, Jordan. Fetching fresh water from the nearby spring. @fast_cologne #tbt

Is #FieldCalculatorFriday a thing? Calculating the orientation of artifacts at Bad Kösen-Lengefeld

Small, elongated and symmetrical: stone blades that have been found at Al-Ansab 1 bear witness to technological change 40,000 years ago. More about @GennaiJacopo @lecramsch @JuergenR58 publication in the Journal of Paleolithic Archeology can be found here👇https://t.co/PV1rAy5jfZ
