✨💡 Shining light on dark matter… but plot twist: it’s about obsidian, not astrophysics! Thanks to confocal microscopy and 3D texture analysis, we are unlocking the hidden stories of use-wear on experimental obsidian tools 🧐🔬 👀 Have a look here #OpenAccess link.springer.com/article/10.1...

New Paper out 🚨🚨Can archaeoentomology help to understand funerary practices in the past? Can archaeology serve as an indicator of the species decomposing a corpse in different bioclimatic regions prior to early modern globalization? @ulpgc.es @pacea.bsky.social
