What is the difference between a copy and the real thing? These gate sphinxes at the archaeological site of Hattusa in Türkiye are copies; the originals are displayed inside a nearby museum to protect them from weathering and other hazards. sapiens.org/archaeology/mu…

A journey through the Cradle of Human Culture traces the origins and development of human culture over the past 160 000 years and, in the process, it also uncovers what it means to be human. cradleofhumanculture.co.za

This looks like a soon to be classic compilation and analysis of the remarkable Sima de los Huesos. Congratulations to our colleagues for their hard scientific work over decades!

We're pleased to announce publication of an exciting special Issue on Atapuerca hominin fossils from Sima de los Huesos ("Pit of Bones"), Spain! SH is a unique paleoanthropological site with the largest number of Pleistocene human fossils recovered (>7000) anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/toc/19328494/2…

"However well-crafted, a wooden spear is little more than a pointed stick, & ...technological progress is absent throughout entirety of Neanderthal existence." 🤔 Many ways to explore Q of language without eliding nuances of material culture like this theconversation.com/how-neandertha…

Australia is one of the richest countries in the world but our budget choices make us poorer. We still collect more from HECS than from the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax. We still spend more on diesel fuel subsidies than renewables #budget #auspol #climate abc.net.au/news/2024-03-0…


Why is it that all recent Australian governments hate the tertiary education sector, publicly funded research, and its public universities?


Please have a look at this new open-access (!) volume on rock art in the 21st century. This is essential reading to understand the contemporary and heritage dimensions of rock art from a global perspective. 👌🏻 link.springer.com/book/10.1007/9…

With @FlintDibble doing such an excellent job it seems a good moment to repost this - supporting what he says about the dangers of pseudoscience, but also noting the historical complicity of archaeology in opening up these spaces of the imagination.. thenation.com/article/cultur…
