Fantastic research by Hsiao-chun Hung and colleagues published today in @pnas.org . Thanks @newscientist.com for soliciting my opinion on the research, allowing me to highlight how interesting and amazing Southeast Asia is culturally, not to mention ancient! www.newscientist.com/article/2496...

The oldest human mummies were slowly smoked 14,000 years ago
For at least 10,000 years, humans across South-East Asia were being carefully preserved after death by being smoke-dried – a tradition that continues to this day in some cultures

Check out our new paper in JAS describing a new Pleistocene combustion feature from the Riverlands in South Australia. Fantastic to collaborate with the River Murray and Mallee Aboriginal Corporation, Flinders colleagues and other collaborators

It was an absolute honour to have contributed a small part to this work, an important contribution to understanding the formation and preservation of combustion features in Late Pleistocene open sites in Australia and globally. #microstratigraphy #geoarchaeology #Sahul
