A #Mesolithic #replica #variety pack.
Alongside working on & supervising the #excavation of Mesolithic sites, replicating some of the #artefact types of the period can be a great way to further engage with the #archaeology.
#Replicas can fill in some of the gaps left by patchy preservation and the loss of perishable materials, and can provide a tactile, tangible component of everything from archaeological experimentation through to #outreach and #publicengagement.
The finale of the latest season of #DiggingforBritain features an incredible Hebridean early #Holocene site I've been lucky enough to work on & co-supervise for the University of Reading.
The preservation is incredible, with stratified #Mesolithic occupation deposits, thousands of chipped stone artefacts lying where they were dropped just after the #iceage enigmatic stone-lined pits, hearths and even delicate charred hazelnut shells.
Ronald VisserInteresting publication in @Antiquity on the distribution of #Cats based on #dna from #archaeological contexts

The results seem preliminary and I am curious to see more results from this interesting project.

Researchers confirm discovery of blood residue from a mastodon on a stone tool found in an excavation on the Niagara Escarpment.
Dozens of stone tools were likely used by Ontario's first human occupants, who moved into the area at the end of the last ice age (~12 000 y ago).
Evidence of mastodon-human interactions in Ontario is not new, but evidence of butchering is.

Katerina HarvatiA hugely important study on bigotry and belief in #humanevolution!
Syropoulos et al. 2022.

From the news report:
'"disbelief in human evolution is the driving factor and most consistent predictor of prejudice..."
...a belief in evolution may expand people's "moral circle," leading to a sense that "we have more in common"
The findings also suggest that "teaching evolution seems to have side effects that might make for a better...society"
