More crucial geoarchaeological data generated in the Flinders Microarchaeology Laboratory by the @Disperscapes team!! This time to contextualise early evidence of our species in Southeast Asia @Flinders @FLINArchaeology
๐Ÿ‘‡research pushing back the timing of modern humans into Mainland Southeast Asia (between 86โ€”68ka!). Led by @Indi750, with contributions from @SuSaMiGroup members from @FLINArchaeology @Flinders Microarchaeology Laboratory @MikeGeoarch @ingatkatandaan &Meghan McAllister-Hayward!

Fantastic paper by Meghan! Loving the research coming out of this project @Disperscapes.
My fantastic colleague Meghan McAllister presenting key results of her investigations on the preservation of biomarkers in Tam Pa Ling as part of the @Disperscapes project led by @MikeGeoarch. Well done Meghan!

And another fantastic talk today on Tam Pa Ling Cave, Laos, this time by Meghan McAllister at AQUA on biomarkers preserved in the cave sediments. Another reason to be a proud supervisor - I have such great PhD students! @Indi750 @Flinders @FLINArchaeology @Disperscapes

Presenting work forming part of the larger @Disperscapes project led by @MikeGeoarch and of course my PhD @FLINArchaeology in @Flinders that hopefully set the background for the kind of biomarker preservation Meghan McAllister talks about later today #AAA2022 @AustArchaeology
Follow #AAA2022 @AustArchaeology for updates from AAA in Darwin this week. Here is @Flinders PhD candidate @ingatkatandaan presenting his work on micro-stratigraphy โ€” Go Vito!

Fantastic month for the @Disperscapes project from @FLINArchaeology. Last week was at the @ippa2022 in Chang Mai, this week it's at the #AEIC2022. Both on research in Tam Pa Ling, Laos to contextualise early modern humans in their Pleistocene! environments

Congratulations to our Disperscapes team member Vito @ingatkatandaan on a great presentation at @ippa2022, sharing snippets of his microstratigraphic research!
Thanks for capturing this moment @palaeophd! Yes, done and dusted this presentation at the @ippa2022. It was a great session. I certainly picked up points to include in the PhD, so thank you to @Flinders and the @Disperscapes project for funding my participation here! #WorthIt!

Congratulations to Svante! What an achievement and how cool is it that our Disperscapes team leader @MikeGeoarch has worked and published with him!!
I have been very fortunate to work and publish with Nobel Prize winner Svante Pรครคbo. Some of the early ideas for our paper in @PNASNews this year on the #microstratigraphic context of aDNA came from a chat with Svante about a potential combined #geoarchaeology & #aDNA study
Congratulations @dr_marpol on your new publication! @FLINArchaeology
New publication! Excited to be amongst esteemed peers and offer the concluding chapter in this landmark volume on Early #Theravadin #Cambodia @FLINArchaeology

Big news this morning. Our paper is out in #PNAS: we micro-contextualise precise origins of #aDNA in archaeological sediment using #micromorphology and #palaeogenetics. Great to work with colleagues from @MPI_EVA_Leipzig on this. @Flinders @FLINArchaeology
Ancient human & animal DNA can remain stably localized in sediments, preserved in microscopic fragments of bone & feces - according to an intl. team incl. @Diyendo, Matthias Meyer & @MikeGeoarch. @MPI_EVA_Leipzig @Flinders More: bit.ly/3svzdk8 & doi.org/10.1073/pnas.2113666โ€ฆ
