As mentioned recently, the Archaeoriddle is nearing completion! Before publishing all our results we wanted to understand what motivated our followers, learn about their research & background, so we created a brief survey to gather your insights 🤔📝 : qualtrics.ceu.edu/jfe/form/S…

Many thanks especially to my co-editors @ralf_vandam and Sam Cleymans. This SI is the culmination of a long journey starting with our research project 'Sustainability and Resilience in Past and Present Populations' @KU_Leuven back in 2017. It's been quite the ride!
