The first week of excavations and stratigraphic documentation at Dalarik-1 Cave was very successful! The trip to Kalavan village - and the homonymous Palaeolithic sites - was the best treat for a day-off! A stop at Gutanasar volcano was a must! @humendylab.bsky.social #TransCause

Their Old People sang of a place lost beneath the waves. Now it’s found. Another fantastic achievement of the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation collaborating with our Deep History of Sea Country project. Congratulations @johnkmccarthy.bsky.social for leading this. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07...

For years, researchers have been trying to find ancient artefacts sitting on the ocean floor. Now they have brought in Indigenous rangers to help.

🔆 Good morning! Kiss me you fool... Nobody knows when kissing emerged among humans. But the practice of plopping one's mouth on another human, whether in friendship or love, is not universal. The evolutionary origin of human kissing 🏺🧪 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

The obsidian bowl was a hit, so here is another special item. This is, to my knowledge, one of only five known Mesopotamian obsidian amulets, inscribed with spells to protect the wearer from Lamaštu, a demon who tormented pregnant women and kidnapped babies. The obsidian came from central Turkey.

Mind the gap. #Archaeologists are excited about #dinosaurs as much as everybody else - but we don't dig them. Not literally. That's where our colleagues in #palaeontology come in - there's a good sixty-four million years of evolutionary history between the Flintstones and their pets. 🏺🦕

Drawing of a prehistoric hunter with a spear in one hand standing high up on an edge upon piled up different layers with all kinds of material included. On the ground below a dinosaur is looking up at the rathe puzzled looking hunter. A note indicates the distance between them: "≈ 64 million years".
