Visit from Gabriel Cooney and @aidanosullivan.bsky.social today - here being shown around by Deborah @naikaiouk.bsky.social . And traditional last day recording! Five eroding sections of (presumably) Final Mesolithic archaeology cleaned, sampled and recorded. Now back to Dublin and some analysis...

Ferriter's Cove - Day 4: not a bad view from site today... And the slow excavation of our first artefact, a rather large rhyolite flake. (2cm sticking out of the section turns into this!)

Interested in Holocene Hunter-Gatherers? Come to UISPP Poznan (31 Aug-4 Sep) for session "Adapting to Diversity: Holocene Hunter-Gatherers in Varied World Landscapes" org. Frederica Fontana (Ferrara), Jacek Kabaciński (Polish Acad Sci) & me. Abstract below - deadline Feb 28th. uispp2026.syskonf.pl

The defining feature of the Holocene is the global rise in temperatures that marked the end of the last glacial cycle. This major climatic transition concluded a process that had begun during the terminal Pleistocene, fostering the development of diverse ecological niches across the continents.
In terms of social dynamics, these processes were accompanied by a general demographic increase and a geographical redistribution of human communities across the planet. New territories—particularly those in the lower latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere and in mountain regions—became available for occupation, while coastal areas were progressively reduced in extent, forcing human groups to reorganize their settlement. During this period—particularly in its early phases in some parts of the planet Earth—certain human groups began transitioning toward agriculture and herding, while in most other regions hunting, gathering, and fishing remained the primary subsistence strategies. In the millennia that followed, the new economies spread at varying paces depending on the region, progressively reducing the areas occupied by hunter-gatherer communities.
This session welcomes contributions—at a global scale—focusing on how hunter-gatherer groups adapted to the diverse landscapes that emerged during the Holocene, maintaining a long-term perspective from the beginning of the period to the present day. Contributions may address any aspect of human adaptation, including settlement patterns, mobility, subsistence strategies, technological developments, and ritual or symbolic behaviors.
