Last week we fired the ceramics made by my experimental archaeology class. Afterwards students recorded the outcome of different tempers and clays on thermal shock resistance and other attributes. They then tested the resistance to breakage and utility as a vessel.

Our third paper of the year is out in Quaternary Science Reviews! Three months and three papers, our team is on fire right now.
Not by chemistry alone: Tephrostratigraphy, correlation, and context at two Palaeolithic sites in the southern Caucasus and Armenian Highlands
Understanding the timing of Late Pleistocene population expansions and interactions is hindered by myriad factors among which the imprecision of absol…

Hot off the press! Check out our new article "The geoarchaeology, chronology and environment of Lusakert-1, a Late Middle Palaeolithic rockshelter (Kotayk Province, Armenia)" in the fully Open Access journal Quaternary Environments and Humans.
The geoarchaeology, chronology and environment of Lusakert-1, a Late Middle Palaeolithic rockshelter (Kotayk Province, Armenia)
Lusakert-1 (LKT-1) is a key site in any discussion of the Palaeolithic of the Armenian Highlands. This is in large part because of a long-running camp…
