Great start to the week with the MOBILITH project - PI Solene Denis. An inspiring bunch of people to get to spend time with! The project is doing great things studying lithic apprenticeship networks and mobility in the Neolithic. Project website: mobilith.hypotheses.org @nathalieltb.bsky.social

Very lucky to be in Paris on Monday for this event launching the MOBILTH project, will be talking about the work we’ve done on women’s mobility in prehistory (with a large team, thanks to Wenner Gren).

#Biology Rising: My version of volvox, the freshwater algae where daughter colonies live inside their mother cells and work together to move towards the light to survive. We are in a volvox moment, now. These are hand printed monotypes on sewing patterns, dipped in beeswax. #sciart #STEAM #art

My piece is out! A history of archaeological scholarship on the potential for matrilineal societies in Iron Age Europe.

@lemoustier.bsky.social is absolutely right here, there is much potential social complexity in power and agency whether it’s men or women who move on marriage. Daniela Hofmann and I wrote about this a few years ago: paper available on here www.researchgate.net/profile/Penn...

A #Neolithic conch shell horn (charonia nodifera) found in Ösel, Lower Saxony, dating 5300-4900 BC - the oldest known musical instrument in this region. It's an evidence of early contacts with the Mediterranean region. The shell was found filled with flint tools in a settlement pit. 🏺 #archaeology

Much sadness and great respect across Archaeology World today as news spread of the death of Professor John Barrett. Here he is posing some hard questions about whether archaeology has achieved quite as much as it thinks it has to another giant of the discipline we lost in 2024, Lord Renfrew.

Inspired by our departmental Christmas quiz, I asked AI to design a Christmas card based on my specialisms in Archaeology. All hail the Christmas cheese! Merry Christmas everyone, wishing you a peaceful break and happy new year for 2025.

Delighted to highlight the work of Professor @pennybickle.bsky.social from the Department of Archaeology. Early Neolithic genetic data has helped archaeologists understand that there was likely more freedom and equality in Neolithic societies than previously thought www.york.ac.uk/news-and-eve...

Excellent essay by David Spiegelhalter in Nature on the uncertainty surrounding probability. Definitely food for thought for those of us who live and die by P-values, or have the Reverend Bayes oversee our research. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

New publication!! I'm really excited that Antiquity has just published my article "Attending to unproof: an archaeology of possibilities" Applying feminist and anarchist theory, I argue that we must allow the past to be complicated & contradictory in order to find in it the seeds of better futures

Didn't know this about my Alma Mater Thousands of women jailed over the centuries, for no reason apart from being working class@ www.theguardian.com/society/2024... “None of the women ever got a fair trial, and none of them had actually even broken the law – there was no evidence of wrongdoing"
