Congratulations to Cecilia Barroso-Medina on publishing her first PhD paper! The PLOS One study presents the design of a synthetic hammerstone that can measure percussion force during stone knapping experiments. UOW UOW Research journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

Finally out PLOS One ! First large-scale study on bone diagenesis and #histotaphonomy in modern humans providing a lack of support for the assumed relationship between putrefaction and bone histology erosion. + Pigs are not to be used for bone biodegradation research UOW Research

Congratulations to Corey O'Driscoll on publishing another paper on his PhD research. The study explores the technological organisation of Early Middle Stone Age at Mertenhof, South Africa during MIS 5. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Very interesting talk and discussion today by Claudio Tennie on the evolution of Human Culture Environmental Futures @ UOW Thanks for your visit, Claudio!

First large-scale study on bone surface diagenesis uncovers key histotaphonomic changes in modern bones exposed to surface conditions. EF member Eline Schotsmans experimentally shows that unvalidated assumptions in #histotaphonomy are incorrect. UOW Research buff.ly/4fcsPDk

Our annual SEALS HDR conference at Thirroul Surf Club was a success UOW Research 🔝location and 🔝 HDR Organising Committee Environmental Futures @ UOW ! Especially proud of the archaeology docs and postdocs 🥼🩻! #ThisIsUOW

Very proud of Lily, my exchange master student from Bordeaux!

Great experience! I had a great opportunity to talk a bit about my research, share my experience in Australia and even sing (I am not quitting my day job for this last thing).

Archaeology continues, no matter what the future brings. Eline Schotsmans is giving a lecture at Hacettepe University in Ankara UOW Environmental Futures @ UOW

Many thanks for everyone's support! Our community stands together ❤️

Conferences play a critical role in academic & prof. development of students. Despite the negative impact of UOW travel ban (+ its many other neg decisions) my two students Alexandra🥇& Lolita 🥈received the 1st and 2nd Student Presentation Prize at the #ASHB2024 Conference🏆

Looks like archaeology at UOW did very well uow.edu.au/media/2025/uow…👏

Prof Li Bo and colleagues have a new paper out in PNAS. Well done! uow.edu.au/media/2025/sto…

📢Have a look at the latest paper by PhD student Lolita Trenchat. We are so proud of our archaeology PhD students! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/oa…

Two papers out in @ELSenviron Quaternary Science Reviews involving Zenobia Jacobs and Rosaria Saktura on dating sites in South Africa, including a high-resolution chronology for the important site of Pinnacle Point in Western Cape. sciencedirect.com/science/articl… sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

📢New study by Alex Mackay and UOW students Jack McGarry and Ella Boss on experimental heat treatment of silcrete. Excellent example of student research training & involvement UOW sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

New paper out on a controlled experiment of Levallois flaking by Sam Lin, Cecilia Barroso-Medina, Chris Clarkson and former UOW students Matthew McNaughton and Amy Innes. Another great example of student research training in archaeology UOW rdcu.be/eiRS5

New paper out in Nat. Comm. by UOW Zenobia Jacobs, Bo Li, and Bert Roberts. A comprehensive summary of Denisova cave, the site where the enigmatic hominin Denisovan was initially identified. nature.com/articles/s4146…
