🏺 Day 2 at the ATRIUM and MAIA Training School: a pottery dataset in the morning, participants' own project proposals in the afternoon. 🔬 Day 3 went hands-on with microscopic image annotation. @atrium-eu.bsky.social
A classroom full of participants working on laptops at long desks, seen from the front of the room. In the foreground, two women in glasses sit side by side, focused on their screens; behind them, around twenty more attendees are absorbed in their work. The room has a red carpet and archaeological posters on the back wall.A woman in a blue-and-white striped shirt stands in profile at a flipchart, drawing a diagram with a black marker. The sketch shows two stacked rectangles with simple geometric shapes inside — an angular line in the upper one and a curved, dotted arc in the lower one. A projector screen is visible on the wall behind her.

Excavation season has brought our archaeologists back to the Azykh Cave in Azerbaijan! Located in the South Caucasus, Azykh is a promising site for researching the Middle Palaeolithic and possible Neanderthal remains. #archaeology

It is always a great feeling returning to places that shaped your early academic years. Toumba excavation is definitely one of them. A big thank you to Prof. Sevi Triantafyllou from AUTH for hosting LMU students for their internship, creating 3D models of Bronze Age pottery using photogrammetry.
