In Athens on 23rd of September, we’re organising a workshop on the Paleolithic in Jordan at ICHAJ — discussing present and future research in the region. I’ll be presenting on Nubian Levallois in Jordan, with AI helping me create illustrations. @icarehb.bsky.social

Refitted sequence from our newly discovered site, Chessungalane in Mozambique: Early removals caused the pebble to fracture in half due to natural flaws. Knappers then took advantage of the flat fracture to produce bladelets from the narrow surface @icarehb.bsky.social

Fantastic talk by @eshallinan.bsky.social on Day 1 of the HEIRS Symposium at @icarehb.bsky.social. She explored the history & multiregional nature of Nubian Levallois cores from her 1st open-access NLC dataset. sapientia.ualg.pt/entities/pub....

Stay tuned for more NLC studies SOON!
