My 2 cents about Gomolava mass burial in Spanish elpais.com/ciencia/2026...

La fosa común que desvela una matanza de mujeres y niños en la Europa de hace 2.800 años
El análisis forense y genético de decenas de víctimas halladas en Gomolava confirma un caso único de asesinato selectivo en la antigüedad europea

The Bronze Age vs The AI Age 1/ Can archaeology predict the future of Big Tech? Economists usually look back 50-150 years; archaeologists look back further. When you look at the Bronze Age Collapse (c. 1200 BCE), are there any parallels to our current AI trajectory? #AI #TechHistory #Archaeology

We discovered a nearly complete bison skeleton in the Sima de Arrafela (Urbasa-Andia Natural Park, Navarre). Dated to ~4000 BP, the remains include a Chalcolithic copper arrowhead embedded between the ribs. This is the most recent bison found in the Iberian Peninsula www.youtube.com/watch?v=GELB...

We are finding a large amount of plastic debris in the nests of various urban bird species. In fact, we found 94 items in a single nest, a new personal (and sad) record. I hope we can publish the results of this project next year.

Ancient horse hunts challenge ideas of ‘modern’ human behavior
An archaeological site in Germany suggests communal hunting and complex thinking emerged earlier in human evolution than once thought.

The last days of the Neanderthals 🏺🧪 Antonio Rodríguez-Hidalgo @whiterabbit36.bsky.social www.nationalgeographic.com/history/arti... The climate and early human societies were changing quickly during the fall of our closest evolutionary relative—and are big clues to the causes of their demise.
This reconstruction of a Neanderthal man’s features is based on the fossils found at the French site of La Chapelle-aux-Saints. Paleoartist Elisabeth Daynès created the sculpture.
