Huge congratulations to Tiago Falótico 🐒⚒️ 🪨. I'm very excited to be a part of this project.

If anyone might be interested in pursuing a PhD at ICArEHB, feel free to get in touch to discuss options. There is an open call for PhD funding, and many fantastic potential supervisors.

We had an amazing time in Vietnam. As well as the tourist trips, we visited some of the traditional craft villages, including bronze casting! It was a truly magical experience that I cover in my new article, and check out emmalouwynjones's amazing shots: ancientcraft.co.uk/post/exploring…

Thanks to Alastair and all the Cambridge friends

Look at this advanced alien technology with which solid rocks can be cut!!

Our 3d modeling & geometric morphometric studies of stone tools from Acheulian sites in S.India is shaping up nicely! 3D models+analysis of lots of lovely handaxes by Prachi Joshi Kumar Akhilesh Sutonuka Bhattacharya in our lab #3dmodeling #prehistory

Should we be attributing artistic or symbolic function to individual palaeolithic artefacts? sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Stunning! Just think how many other synanthropic relations probably existed in the past. We now know of whales 👇, ravens, boar, wolves (aka doggies), possibly even hyaenas! What’s next?

After enjoying the photo by Amir Beshkani the other day, I had some time this evening play around with some 3D rendering. Thank you Dr Christian Hoggard for downloadable the handaxe model #palaeolithic #b3d

Ok, I'm looking to re-stock my collection of knappable raw materials. Does anyone know of any sources of stone in Portugal or southern Spain? Any suggestions?

What is more exciting than palaeolithic cave archaeology underneath a medieval castle!

Our UCL Institute of Archaeology students spending some quailty time with Butser Ancient Farm residents.

I cannot recommend working for UCL Archaeology South-East enough. I have worked for them a number of times and they are a great company, and a great group of people doing some really exciting archaeology.

‼️ Attention African archaeologists, esp. ECRs - the Society of Africanist Archaeologists (SAfA) radiocarbon fund is now taking applications for small dating projects. PLEASE get in touch with me for advice well in advance: we want to make sure your app has every chance!

Not only is this really cool. I really love this photo

Our paper 'Did Early Pleistocene hominins control hammer strike angles when making stone tools?' is out! We used method developed from controlled lithic experiments to study how hominins controlled their hammer strike angle. Check out the paper here:
