Vráble Neolithic Bodies
@neolithicbodies.bsky.social
DFG-funded research project investigating unusual body manipulations and depositional practices at the Neolithic settlement Vráble-Vel’ké Lehemby (Slovakia). A collaboration beetween Kiel University and the Slovak Academy of Sciences (Nitra).

#Settlement area, economy, and #headlessbodies in the ditch – #Vráble is undoubtedly one of the most exceptional #LBK sites. However, without our partners, the specialists at the #SlovakAcademyOfSciences, it would have remained hidden forever… 🇸🇰

How can Neolithic waste help us understand how Europe's first farmers adapted to a more sedentary lifestyle? Our new joint project with the University of York, "RENEW: From Refuse to Resource: Ceramic and Bone Wastescapes in the Early Neolithic of Europe" hopes to shed light on this.

Ancient Chinchorro mummies show that modern Chileans are taller and have larger cranial volumes because of recent improvements in nutrition and health, not ancient lifestyle shifts. Bodies change fast when environments do. #bioarchaeology #anthropology #Chile #humanvariation

I've written a few, mostly scholarly, but this is probably the most publicly accessible. A short book written to introduce readers to how archaeologists get stories out of dirt, bones, and broken things

In 2022, archaeologists at @uni-kiel.de's @neolithicbodies.bsky.social found 34 decapitated skeletons piled in a space the size of a parking spot. In the 3 years since, they’ve found 50 more. The mass grave is evidence for the collapse of the 1st pan-European culture 7,000 years ago. @science.org 🏺💀

Putrefying animal foods laced with maggots should be considered when using isotopes to reconstruct Late Pleistocene hominin diets.
