Using #archaeological finds and findings, we follow these traces and show human #behaviour and action, human activity and thinking. #archaeology #LEIZA
@niklashausmann.bsky.socialReposted by @leizarchaeology.bsky.socialInteresting little heated stone arrangement with lots of charcoal and limpets very low in the stratigraphy of Priory Midden. Just the stuff they found at Cnoc Coig but the previous dig stopped 5 cm short of it. Whoops!
Excavated by the amazing @hugowhymark.bsky.social 🏺
@leizarchaeology.bsky.socialWhat can #potterysherds tell us about changing societies? A new study @plosone.org by A. Diachenko & D. Gronenborn uses a mathematical model to explore links between population, pottery production and information exchange. @dai-weltweit.bsky.social #openaccess #archaeology

@missjonestravel.bsky.socialReposted by @leizarchaeology.bsky.socialEine der spektakulärsten archäologischen Untersuchungen unserer Zeit
#Rungholt, das #Atlantis des #Nordens. Die Legende der untergegangenen Stadt.
Diese #Geschichte scheint wahr zu sein. Zumindest wurde der wahre Kern archäologisch gefunden:

@leizarchaeology.bsky.socialA new book explores how the terms “Viking” & “Viking Age” have been understood, adapted and misused from the early Middle Ages to the present day. Edited by our LEIZA researcher Thorsten Lemm, it brings together fresh perspectives from research, education and society.
@leizarchaeology.bsky.socialTeam LEIZA was back at the Mainz Company Run yesterday!
A fantastic evening of running, cheering and team spirit.
Thanks to everyone who ran, supported and cheered us on! 🙌
@leizarchaeology.bsky.socialThe project is led by Dr Tamara Dogandžić, a researcher at our LEIZA site @paleomonrepos, the MONREPOS Archaeological Research Centre and Museum for Human Behavioural Evolution in Neuwied. Congratulations, Tamara! 🥳 We couldn't be happier for you!
@leizarchaeology.bsky.socialThe project focuses on the Balkan Peninsula 300,000 to 100,000 years ago. Using interdisciplinary methods, it investigates the relationship between population dynamics and cultural change. The aim is to gain new insights into the origins of the complexity and diversity of human behaviour.
@leizarchaeology.bsky.socialSo, what is it all about?
Why did Homo sapiens prevail over the course of #humanhistory, while other human groups such as #Neanderthals disappeared? What roles did climate & environment, technological advances & encounters between different populations play?
This is where the project comes in.
@leizarchaeology.bsky.social🎉 ERC Starting Grant for our colleague Tamara Dogandžić!
For her new #research project Early ENCOUNTERS, she has been awarded funding from the European Research Council @erc.europa.eu: €1.5 million for five years of research. #Archaeology #LEIZArchaeology #ERCStG @paleomonrepos.bsky.social
@leizarchaeology.bsky.socialWith colleagues from the Azerbaijan National Academy of Sciences, University of Karabakh, University of Oslo and @icarehb.bsky.social / University of the Algarve,the team continues last summer’s work: New areas are being explored and finds add to our understanding of life in the #StoneAge.
@leizarchaeology.bsky.socialExcavation season has brought our archaeologists back to the Azykh Cave in Azerbaijan!
Located in the South Caucasus, Azykh is a promising site for researching the Middle Palaeolithic and possible Neanderthal remains. #archaeology
