New evaluation of the taxonomic affinities of the Late Pleistocene fossil hominin from Kabua, Kenya. Very happy to finally have the chance to finish and publish this work, nearly a decade after a very happy time in Tuebingen working on it with excellent colleagues. doi.org/10.1111/1467...

Parmi les pionnières de l’archéologie du XXe siècle, figure Kathleen Kenyon (1906-1978). En 1952, elle avait relancé l’activité archéologique britannique en Palestine en reprenant les travaux sur le site de Jericho, tout en introduisant les méthodes de fouilles mises au point par Mortimer Wheeler.

Pioneering British archaeologist Kathleen Kenyon was born #OTD in 1906 Best known for her excavations at Jericho (1952–1958), she is one of the most influential archaeologists of the 20th century & was the first female president of Oxford University Archaeological Society. #WomenInSTEM #archaeology

A black-and-white composite photograph of British archaeologist Dame Kathleen Kenyon. The main image shows her in the field during an excavation, likely at Jericho in the 1950s: she is seated on a narrow earthen ledge in a deep trench, wearing a light short-sleeved shirt, dark trousers, and sturdy shoes, with her hands resting on her knees as she gazes thoughtfully to the side; layered stratigraphic walls of ancient brick and soil rise behind her, casting her shadow on the wall. In the upper right corner is a smaller inset formal portrait of an older Kenyon, smiling gently while seated and holding an open book, dressed in a dark top with a pearl necklace.

As 2026 approaches a happy new year's toast to you all with this marvellous 4th century Roman cage-cup, which bears an inscription, a toast that reads: BIBE MULTIS ANNIS - Drink for many years! Cheers and here's to a far better year in 2026! 🥂 #NewYear2026 🍀

A close-up of a cage cup. It comprises an inner, translucent glass beaker and an outer decorative shell. The shell, affixed to the beaker via short stems or shanks, features circles at its body and an inscription at its top.

Excited about our new preprint showing bidirectional adaptive introgression between invasive and native crop pests over ecological timescales www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...

The collision of two genomes threatens global food security

Human activity alters selection pressures and species' ranges, creating opportunities for hybridisation through secondary contact. Ancient hybridization has enabled adaptive radiation, but its role in...

Unlike most "mini pigs" on Instagram, Cainochoerus is a true mini pig, standing at ~knee height of a mid-sized human (image below). Unfortunately, it went extinct a few million years back. The fossils that we found consist of jaw fragments and teeth. More in the paper!

The Mudumal megalithic menhirs in India have been added to UNESCO’s tentative list for World Heritage Sites in 2025. Mudumal’s menhirs are India's oldest menhirs, dating back 3,500–4,000 BP, and are located near the banks of the Krishna River. #StandingStoneSunday
