📢 Call for papers! #EAABelgrade - Session #229 Join us with the great Viola Schmid to discuss Cores-on-Flakes during the Middle Palaeoltihic and Middle Stone Age! Deadline for submission: *6 February* www.e-a-a.org/eaa2025/ @archaeologyeaa.bsky.social @eaapam.bsky.social #UISPP

We would like to let you know that we are organizing a dedicated session (#229) on the phenomenon of Cores-on-flakes Flakes (CoFs) in the Middle Palaeolithic and Middle Stone Age at the EAA in Belgrade (https://www.e-a-a.org/eaa2025).
The session title is “Cores-on-Flakes during the Middle Palaeolithic and Middle Stone Age: Technology, Raw materials economy and/or functional purposes”.
In this session, we want to discuss and compare the technical choice of using flakes as cores to produce various end-products (including small flakes), through different geographical, temporal and cultural
contexts of the Middle Palaeolithic and Middle Stone Age.
Specific case studies employing a technological, techno-economic, techno-functional, or functional approach are very welcome. We additionally would be delighted about contributions adding experimental data to this topic and broader reflections on the behavioural significance.

My new year’s resolution generator for @theguardian.com. Let me know what you get!

Title: Still haven't made a new year's resolution? Let us help you generate one!

Image: a diagram which asks you to input “The year of your birth added to the number of pets in your home”, “The number of days in the current month plus your shoe size” and “The sum of the first three digits in your telephone number” which will seemingly make a random resolution but actually always* makes “support your local bookshop”.

*Unless you have size 68 shoes or a negative number of pets or some other nonsense in which case you will get the silly outcome you deserve.
