"¿Ya has descubierto un nuevo dinosaurio, algún tesoro?" me preguntan a veces. “No estudio dinosaurios y sí, pero no como los que piensas" suelo responder. L@s arqueólog@s poco tenemos que ver con Indiana Jones: yacimientos, sí, pero con más rigor y menos maldiciones!🧵#HiloTesis

Three fantastic days with Ben Marwick with everything about #OpenScience in archaeological science! The perfect introduction for developing ICArEHB policy, guidelines and workflow on #FAIR data

These days we're also starting fieldwork at the Escoural Cave. First step is to collect geophysical data to better understand how the site was formed European Research Council (ERC) Universidade Algarve

Cleaning old profiles, setting up a new excavation grid, and uncovering the first #Neanderthal artifacts of the field season. It's been a great first week at Escoural! #Archaeology Universidade Algarve ICArEHB European Research Council (ERC)

Super interesting paper! Understanding the relationships between minds and materials requires complex inferential strategies demanding philosophical analysis 👇

OUT NOW! Much controversy still surrounds #Neanderthal #aesthetic sense & engagement w aesthetic practices. In this paper, Anton Killin and I delineate major skeptical arguments & argue that they miss the mark for empirical & theoretical reasons 🧵 link.springer.com/article/10.100…

Last week, we wrapped up 3 weeks of fieldwork at Escoural cave. Tremendous team effort went into opening a new excavation area and carefully working through Holocene layers covering the collapsed blocks that lie atop #Neanderthal occupations European Research Council (ERC) ICArEHB @ualg

📢 New article “Unraveling the spatial imprint of hominin and carnivore accumulations in Early Pleistocene African sites” by Merino-Pelaz, A., Cobo-Sánchez, L., et al., in Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences. More info: doi.org/10.1007/s12520…

Our team members Guillermo Alzate, Joana Belmiro, Lucía Cobo-Sánchez, Nolan Ferar, Javier Sánchez-Martínez, Milena Carvalho, and Jonathan Haws have arrived in Rome for #EAA2024 European Association of Archaeologists. If you're around or joining online don’t miss their amazing talks! e-a-a.org/eaa2024

Join us tomorrow at 2pm for our spatial analysis session at #EAA !

Also this afternoon at #EAA2024, our own Lucía Cobo-Sánchez and colleagues organized a session on Advancing Paleolithic Intra-Site Spatial Analysis EAA PaM Community European Association of Archaeologists European Research Council (ERC) Universidade Algarve

🌍 ICArEHB members recently participated in the #EAA2024 in Rome! Our team presented their latest research, engaged in dynamic discussions, and connected with the international archaeological community. Thank you to everyone who attended sessions and supported our work!

🚀 In just 2 years, ICArEHB and Universidade Algarve secured their first 5 European Research Council (ERC) projects - an outstanding achievement for us. Proof that we're here to stay, growing stronger and leading the way in #Archaeology and Human Evolution research! FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia

The 30th European Association of Archaeologists meeting in Rome was an intense and enriching experience. Organizing #session553 alongside friends and receiving so many fascinating contributions was the best part. Big thanks to everyone for attending! And to the onsite and online spatial team! 🚀

ICArEHB is happy to launch HEIRS – the hub for Human Evolution Research Synthesis! 🌍 HEIRS will be the premium place to conduct research projects in human evolution that adopt a synthetic approach. 👉 heirs.icarehb.com #HumanEvolution #ResearchSynthesis #HEIRS #Research
