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.

Mi comentario va más por la similitud estilística que por el ave/especie en sí, que identificarla con lo que hay ya me parece bastante pro.

Hay muchas formas de definir civilización. Una de ellas debería ser la capacidad de cuidar de la Tierra y de los seres que la habitan, de mantener y respetar la vida. Y desde este punto de vista, las comunidades aborígenes son de las más civilizadas del planeta.

Good observation. In Atapuerca sites it's not uncommon to see units labeled from top to bottom, particularly when the stratigraphy was first described during excavation, rather than based purely on sedimentological deposition. A non-standard but internally consistent convention.

My two cents on what communal hunting tells us about human evolution beyond hunting itself. With commentaries by Eugène Morin, Ashley Lemke, Lutz Kindler & Jarod Hutson www.sciencenews.org/article/anci...

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.
