Why #geoarchaeology, #micromorphology, and other micro-contextualised analyses are critical to interpreting the human evolutionary record, by yours truly and a host of fantastic co-authors @Flinders @FLINArchaeology #FlindersMicroarchaeologyLab

My explainer about the Yunxian 2 study

Study of 1m-year-old skull points to earlier origins of modern humans. Skull found in China may be [on the lineage of] Homo longi, potentially revising understanding of human evolution

#FossilFriday The discovery of the remarkable skull 5 from Dmanisi, Georgia in 2005. This fossil dates to about 1.8 million years old and is usually classified as a primitive Homo erectus, or sometimes assigned to a separate species ‘Homo georgicus’

Building works for the formation of the @arc_gov_au-funded Australian Microarchaeology and Palaeosciences Facility (AusMAP) is underway here at @Flinders. Very excited to get the new analytical equipment in once this is done!! #microarchaeology #geoarchaeology

Is micro-CT scanning really non-destructive for fossils? See our last piece in @ConversationEDU. @CENIEH @Palaeo_diet @latrobe @ARCHE_Griffith

Does X-ray micro-CT scanning impact radiocarbon dating of fossils? Short answer: Yes. Not directly the radiocarbon age, but collagen preservation for sure. See more here (free access): https://t.co/ySaZm9Xgt8 @CENIEH @ARCHE_Griffith

🔬 New research published @Nature pushes the boundaries of #paleoproteomics! We've retrieved enamel proteins from a rhinocerotid 21-24 million years old found in Canada's High Arctic. #Paleontology #Evolution #AncientProteins Read the article here: https://t.co/6AEKToxSb8

It was an honour to present our work on #microplastics in rivers to @APPGPlastics in Westminster last week chaired by @AlbertoCostaMP with representatives from @WomensInstitute & various organisations. Excellent discussion on how to limit microplastics entering the environment.

On behalf of my co-convenors @MikeGeoarch, Ali (crouched beside me), Michelle (beside Chris Hunt), thanks @MDPetraglia for organising the theme in which our session was in, and everyone who presented and attended our session.

10th World Archaeological Congress wrapped. Here's us who presented in the session 'Microarchaeology—Using Micro-analytical Techniques to Elucidate the Deep Environmental Past and the Evolution of Our Species.' Our session and the Conference was largely a success.

Delighted to share my upcoming book in the @YaleBooks Little Histories Series: “A lively account of the history of our planet, from its earliest origins to the present day, told through the major geological changes and scientific breakthroughs” https://t.co/18SLTJRDqi 23-09-25
