Summer high school student lab interns starting to bring our lab whiteboards to life!

Loving the vibes in this year’s African Paleosciences Laboratory@NYU summer research interns

It’s been a great couple years for African Archaeology, can’t wait to devour these two books!

How to grow the heritage sector, protect archaeological sites, engage the youth, and increase research capacity in Malawi? We are working on it! Thanks to Yale Peabody Museum, Khaya Foundation Org, Mzimba Heritage Association, and The Catholic University of Malawi for support. Looking forward to welcoming the U.S. Embassy Lilongwe on Day 2!

Today, I did my first seminar talk, "What Monkeys Tell Us about the Origins of Technology in Human Evolution"! I am very grateful to UCT Archaeology for allowing me to share my research with them😁

We invited people from villages around the sites and students from 4 Malawi universities to join Malawi govt and ⁦⁦⁦Yale Peabody Museum⁩ in the work that happens AFTER the field: collections organizing. Community archaeology should also extend beyond the dig! 🇲🇼

We are thrilled to welcome our newest faculty members, Maryani Rasidjan and Lara Sánchez-Morales!

Our latest U.S. National Science Foundation-funded study challenges long-standing assumptions about stone tool backing. Controlled tests show no significant difference in adhesion between backed and non-backed lithic edges. Dive into the details: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/ar… 🪨🔍

Proud to share that our 2024 summer high school research interns made incredible strides in the African Paleosciences Lab NYU ANTHROPOLOGY! Their passion and dedication to uncovering the past have been inspiring. Looking forward to seeing where their journey in archaeology takes them!

We need so many more of these databases in archaeology, great job Emily Hallinan

Thrilled to share our new open-access paper, which explores early hominin tool-use efficiency through a novel experimental approach! Link: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/aj…

Fantastic to host an amazing group of Africanist archaeologists (and palaeo allies) in NYC for a LMU-NYU supported workshop with Justin Pargeter. Definitely a highlight of 2024! Alice Leplongeon Yale Paleoarchaeology Lab Alex Bertacchi

Hot on the heels of Alexandros Karakostis' paper showing practical experience impacts flake-cutting efficiency, we (Adela Cebeiro Stephanie Levy) present new results demonstrating stone toolmaking energy expenditure differs between novice and expert toolmakers. doi.org/10.1002/ajpa.2…

Postgraduate scholarships for students from #Africa 🥳! Come study with us Cambridge Archaeology CambridgeBioAnth 🥰🥰🥰

I had the privilege to present my research at the XVII Symposium of ICTMD study group on Music Archaeology at the University of Valladolid.

🚨FREE BOOK 🚨 Lithic Technology is seeking a reviewer for “Flexibility of the Levallois Concept in the Italian Late Middle Palaeolithic.” t.ly/OfL0F . Contact me for more info.

Super excited to announce our new Open-Access paper in JHE! We present original evidence showing that the grasping habits of certain early hominins (such as stone tool use) were already strikingly human-like. Here is the Link: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Exciting to see lab member and primate archaeologist Adela Cebeiro’s research and field site website go live!
