Westell et al @Flinders @FLINArchaeology apply microstratigraphy to demonstrate a 40 ka-old hearth in South Australia; a significant contribution of Aboriginal Australian culture to studying modern human culture in the deep past!

Starting 2025, I'll be working alongside @dr_marpol @Flinders and international colleagues on Cambodian research. Using #microarchaeology, I'll be helping unravel narratives of resilience anchored on deeper understanding of economy, industry and environmental change. Stay tuned!

READ 👇 the latest research on Tam Pà Ling from @Flinders @FLINArchaeology published in Quaternary Science Reviews. The results highlight the key contribution of microstratigraphy to studying early Homo sapiens evolution and dispersals in the Far East.

Opinion piece: Researchers can now retrieve DNA directly from sediments and soils (#sedaDNA). However, to properly interpret this DNA, they need to understand its context and association within the archaeological record. ow.ly/V8PP50SnGna #archaeology
ALT To ensure that soil and sediment DNA is a trustworthy paleogenetic tool, it’s important that we understand the microscopic sources and potential movement of sedaDNA. We propose future pathways that, in our view, will be crucial in developing reliable collection and interpretations of sedaDNA data. Pictured is the archaeological site at Satsurblia Cave in the nation of Georgia, which yielded sedaDNA of ancient humans, wolves, and bison. See Ref 4. Image credit: Mareike C. Stahlschmidt.
