Archaeologists find evidence that a wave of mass brutality accompanied the collapse of the first pan-European culture. Learn more: scim.ag/4abcijL
An illustration showing an aerial view of Vráble, showing three neighborhoods. Walled off: The fortified neighborhood was surrounded by a deep, V-shaped ditch 1 kilometer long, reinforced by an earthen wall and another ditch. While digging trenches to understand the fortifications, researchers found headless bodies buried near one entrance. Ditch burials: Nearly 100 people were placed in the ditch near the wall's southernmost opening or gate, in a layer of bodies extending more than 45 meters along the ditch. The densest concentration of bodies was closest to the gate.

8000 years ago in the remote, boreal landscape of the Siberian taiga, hunter-gatherers built the earliest fortified sites. The development of territoriality and social conflict was not necessarily tied to agriculture. 🔗 from 2023 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺 #Archaeology 📷 N. Golovanov

At this time, people in the region were transitioning from mobile hunter-gatherers to sedentary pastoralists. Desert kites, used to funnel animals whilst hunting, were modified into enclosures, revealing early experiments in animal domestication. 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy...

Mass-hunting in South-west Asia at the dawn of sedentism: new evidence from Şanlıurfa, south-east Türkiye
Collation of satellite imagery and new fieldwork in Şanlıurfa (south-east Türkiye) has revealed large numbers of stone-walled desert kites, some of which may date to the Pre-Pottery Neolithic (c. 9500–7000 BC). The authors briefly explore the potential role of these structures in the processes of early sedentism and monumentality.

Whenever you think these days that the #TasTepeler sites have already turned everything we thought we knew about the early SE Anatolian #Neolithic upside down after so many years of digging at Göbekli Tepe, they come up with something even crazier ...

How can Neolithic waste help us understand how Europe's first farmers adapted to a more sedentary lifestyle? Our new joint project with the University of York, "RENEW: From Refuse to Resource: Ceramic and Bone Wastescapes in the Early Neolithic of Europe" hopes to shed light on this. bit.ly/3Xgcnez

So very excited to announce our new project - From Reuse to Resource - joint with the Freie Universitaet Berlin, funded by DFG-AHRC. Starting early 2026, we're going to be analyzing the wastescapes of Neolithic settlements to rethink ontologies of rubbish nachrichten.idw-online.de/2025/11/25/u...

Oha, womöglich werden einfache Erklärungen komplexen Situationen gar nicht gerecht - und wir führen die ganze Zeit Scheindebatten? 😲🙄 www.deutschlandatlas.bund.de/DE/Home/home...
Vier Deutschlandkarten zeigen: Anteil ausländischer Bevölkerung (mehrheitlich im Südosten, wenig im Osten), Straftaten (viel in Ost und West wenig im Südosten), verfügbares Einkommen viel im Südosten und Mittelwesten sowie Norden, wenig im Osten) und Arbeitslosenquote (wenig im Südosten und Nord-Nordwesten, viel im Osten). Regionen sind farblich nach Klassen abgestuft, Legenden unten.
