These two last weeks brought a lot of opportunities for students to discover different fields: lithics knaping, butchery, hide processing, ochre surveys, microfauna and macrofauna studies...

Throug the week-end the team assisted to the first #ochre and paleofire workshops, and a nice day on the beach to rest a bit and collect some quartzite for the future knapping workshop.

Our two southern African masters students working on #ochre M. Sepamo and P. T. Alfeus collected their raw material for their experimentation and started to learn how to describe them. @justinpargeter.bsky.social @leakeyfoundation.org and PAST.

Second week is over. While first week focused on launching this season dig and field lab, second week led us to some rock art sampling, #ochre outcrop sampling, exciting finds on the dig 🤩 .

Science doesn't have to suffer the vagaries of politics. Science helps us move towards a more respectful world.
