Very excited to announce Taphosource! Our lab at CSU has made our database of hundreds of confocal microscope-scanned cut, tooth, percussion, and trampling marks available open source! This is the result of years of work in experiments, scanning, and prepping data by everyone involved.

Happy fossil Friday, seems as good a day as any now that I've signed the offer letter to announce I'm moving to DC basically for a dream postdoc position Hint: it's on my shirt Excited, but it's insane to be moving out of Colorado after 20 years. Denver will always be home

Hey Michaels, do you need a zooarchaeologist consultant, because what the hell is this supposed to be?

the most realistic scene in Jurassic Park is when two scientists make a questionable decision — traveling to an undisclosed location with a strange man — on the promise of three years of modest funding

🐘 check out our newest paper from Liang Bua! www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... Did H. floresiensis hunt Stegodon? 🔪 Did they also had control use of fire? 🔥 We tested these early claims of complex behavior using taphonomy, experimental archaeology, and zooarchaeology of the Stegodon assemblage.

New paper out! Very honored to be a part of this research led by @egveatch.bsky.social We argue that H. floresiensis most likely scavenged Stegodon kills from komodo dragons, rather than hunted these dwarf elephants, and that there is no evidence they used fire. Link below!

Since 9/11 the main use of the word “terrorism” has been as a blanket justification for atrocities and the world would be a better place if we stopped using it. www.hamiltonnolan.com/p/retire-the...

Retire the Word "Terrorism"

It obscures the things it is supposed to illuminate.
