From three McMaster anthropology researchers: "Do historical mosquito collections contain Plasmodium DNA, and, if so, can museum specimens be used to reconstruct the historical epidemiology of malaria?"

Dr. Tristan Carter & Dr. Demetris Athanasoulis reveal a rare mason’s mark from Stelida, Naxos! 🏺 This architectural block—a simple cross—raises questions about Minoan ties. Could it mark Knossian influence or serve as an altar? 📜 Swipe to learn more!

Publication Alert! A Mason's Mark from the Stelida Peak Sanctuary, Naxos. New co-authored publication by Dr. Tristan Carter. Article summary: This article reports on an architectural block from the peak sanctuary at Stelida on Naxos that is inscribed with a mason’s mark, the first such example from the island and one of only a handful outside of Crete and Akrotiri on Thera. We suggest that it originally formed part of the building’s back wall, the sign facing Thera, and Crete beyond— signaling a connection to and possibly protection from these important political places. An alternative hypothesis sees the block as an altar. The design of the mason’s mark, a simple cross, is well attested at Knossos and several other sites on Minoan Crete, plus at Akrotiri on Thera, and at Mycenae in the Argolid. This mason’s mark may provide further evidence for Knossian politico-religious influence at Stelida. American Journal of Archaeology 128(3) Carter and Athanasoulis 2024
