#LaRocheàPierrot (Saint-Césaire) discovered in 1975 by #BernardDubigny, who noticed lithics during fishing. #SaintCésaire is one of the few sites where a Neanderthal skeleton named "Pierrette," is found in association with a #Châtelperronian lithic industry.

#LaChapelle-aux-Saints 1 (surnommé « le vieillard ». #Neanderthal 50ka. Studies show that it was an elderly individual who was toothless and suffering from arthritis. He must have relied on others for food and mobility. #inthisday

It’s all about the cutting edge. Isn’t it? #OmaniKhanjar #FlintFriday

Congratulations to Emily Hallinan for providing researchers with valuable new data on #NubianCore . It’s also gratifying that #PaleoHajar project had played a role in part of the fieldwork #FieldFriday

The #PaleoHajar project is proud to have the consultation and collaboration of leading experts in #absolutedating , #ESR Dr Ch. Flaguères and Dr P. Voinchet in the coming season. Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle , Amir beshkani #FieldFriday

I have a question. Has anyone seen cut marks (?) along the bone like this in a Neanderthal occupation site?

The #ScienceFestival is currently taking place at Université Paris Nanterre and Paleo-Hajar project is honored to contribute, focusing on Homo sapiens vs Neanderthal. MSH Mondes Amir beshkani Stay tuned in public celebrations of science!

On the occasion of the Science Festival at MSH Mondes today, the children become familiar with the « Out of Africa » theory through a game, while simultaneously exploring the distribution of Paleolithic sites on the map of Middle East. #FieldFriday Amir beshkani

Today, we were truly amazed by the talent of very young students in understanding #OmanPaleolithic and drawing the lithics, notably #NubianLevallois cores! Amir beshkani #FlintFriday
