Around 13,000 years ago hunters waited in a rocky valley near a bottleneck for herds of migrating reindeer. The Ahrensburgian valley (Germany) gave archaeologists a snapshot of the exact spot Palaeolithic hunters used the landscape in their hunting strategy.

For some #MondayMotivation we have this quote by C. Gamble, from his article ‘150 years of Cutting Edge Research' which explored the research of lithicists from 1859-2009.

There's still time to submit your research ideas to our Conference. Check our bio for the website 🔗

For #FindsFriday hoping for some Twitterverse input for this #Doggerland find found by Heleen @Zandmotor beach last week🌊. Best I’ve seen! We interpret these finds as #mesolithic netting needles 🪡 made on metatarsal bones but sofar lack solid parallels and dates. Any ideas? 🤔
