Archaeology continues, no matter what the future brings. Eline Schotsmans is giving a lecture at Hacettepe University in Ankara @UOW @UOWEnviro
Yarın Hacettepe Antropoloji'de iki harika sunum var. @ElineMarieS çalıştığı ceset çiftliğindeki deneyler hakkında konuşacak. Marco ise Kuzey İtalya ve İsviçre'de insan hareketliliği ve ölü gömme geleneklerini anlatacak.

Great experience! I had a great opportunity to talk a bit about my research, share my experience in Australia and even sing (I am not quitting my day job for this last thing).
Nuevo podcast de #CientificosEnLaOnda, esta vez desde Australia (@srap_ieap) con Cecilia Barroso (@Ceciliabm_), quien nos habla de evolución humana 👉 https://t.co/CmbWgc3jP0

First large-scale study on bone surface diagenesis uncovers key histotaphonomic changes in modern bones exposed to surface conditions. EF member @ElineMarieS experimentally shows that unvalidated assumptions in #histotaphonomy are incorrect. @uowresearch

Finally out @PLOSONE ! First large-scale study on bone diagenesis and #histotaphonomy in modern humans providing a lack of support for the assumed relationship between putrefaction and bone histology erosion. + Pigs are not to be used for bone biodegradation research @uowresearch

Congratulations to @Ceciliabm_ on publishing her first PhD paper! The @PLOSONE study presents the design of a synthetic hammerstone that can measure percussion force during stone knapping experiments. @UOW @uowresearch
journals.plos.org
The process of making stone tools, specifically knapping, is a hominin behaviour that typically involves using the upper limb to manipulate a stone hammer and apply concentrated percussive force to...
