New analysis of #obsidian blades reveals dynamic Neolithic social networks @yale PNASNews doi.org/gq26xj phys.org/news/2022-10-a…

A cool new bit of research from my excellent colleague Ellery Frahm using Yale Peabody Museum legacy collections! news.yale.edu/2022/10/17/new…

Exciting to see archaeological science kick all those new vaccine developers, cancer researchers, environmental scientists, and quantum computing coders off the front page of Yale Today this morning! Dead people’s trash for the win!

Come work with us in Yale Anthropology! Two-year position, open anthropological subfield with reps from our three major subfields (archaeology, bio anthropology, sociocultural anthropology) on the search committee. Please share widely!

Hey, archaeology students… If you have questions about pXRF of obsidian, ceramics, or other archaeo materials, I’m happy to try and answer them, even chat with you, and not charge $100+. I’m not RPA-certified, but my pXRF-based obsidian sourcing is published in Science and PNAS.

Analysis of obsidian artifacts excavated during the 1960s in Iran suggests that the networks Neolithic people formed in the region are larger and more complex than previously believed, according Yale researchers. Yale Anthropology Yale Peabody Museum PNASNews #Yale news.yale.edu/2022/10/17/new…

Futzing around with this table is how you summon the Cenobites.

My students were looking into one of our old archaeological survey collections, and they came across this 1997 senior thesis that, after the Table of Contents, includes this amazing “Cast of Characters (in order of appearance),” something I’ve never seen in a thesis before.

As an archaeologist and a Star Trek fan, I need one of these Klingon golden idols from the season finale of #StarTrekLowerDecks ASAP.

Molecular modeling meets brutalist sculpture — a handmade model, built in the 1970s by biochemist Dr. Ann Korner, of E. coli transfer RNA in Yale’s Environmental Science Center.

Flawed methods, I say… The xenomorph from the Alien films only ranks low in on-screen body count because they’re in space. But think of the property damage! The Nostromo and its entire cargo plus a whole terraforming colony that had to be nuked from orbit.

We used a three-tiered approach to classifying five quartzite outcrops from Oldupai Gorge🇹🇿 sciencedirect.com/science/articl… And we discovered 12 raw material groups while conducting macroscopic, petrographic, and EDX analysis of these raw materials MaríaSoto Julien Favreau

Why are #BronzeAge cattle so interesting? #ThrowbackThursday to an article we published 3 years ago now. It was one of my favourite papers to write and I didn't have Twitter at the time so a little 🧵 (1/9) #scicomm sciencedirect.com/science/articl…
