Thanks, that would be great. I imagine it will make its way into libraries eventually, but I'd really like to see it!

Great that this came out Jens. Will it be available in Türkiye?

🧪Great discussions with colleagues from Nice Univ and abroad @emmabaysal.bsky.social Happy to present at SPF meeting the long and complex history of body ornamentation, key to understanding identities, social ties, and evolution @cnrsecologie.bsky.social @univbordeaux.bsky.social @pacea.bsky.social

You know what's scariest here? No human has read this at all. None. Forget about the cheating authors, no reviewers, no editor. Nothing. Horrifying.

Talks over return of Parthenon marbles to Athens are ‘well advanced’ Exclusive: Keir Starmer reiterates support for British Museum reaching deal with Greek PM, who visits UK on Tuesday

It seems the Parthenon Marbles will head home under Labour #AncientBluesky ⚱️🦋

The mosaics shows a basket with seven snails inside. One snail is falling out of the basket, another one is depicted in front of the basket.

For #MosaicMonday a detail of a mosaic in the basilica of #Aquileia depicting #snails in a basket.
The meaning of the motif is unclear. It was suggested that it is a symbol of resurrection, as snails are hibernating animals. But it was also argued that the motif...1/2

Started my Sunday by listening to this brilliant episode, shining a light on the history & stories behind ornamentation in Anatolia with @emmabaysal.bsky.social.

The Heritage Türkiye podcast is fast becoming one of my favourite podcasts.

This episode of Heritage Türkiye was a joy to make. After talking with @emmabaysal.bsky.social I don’t think I’ll ever think about jewellery in the same way. It’s a really rich conversation, including fascinating insights into status, belonging and gender and in the Neolithic period

Thanks Martin

📢 The latest episode of Heritage Türkiye is out!

In this episode, Dr. Işılay Gürsu and Dr. Peter Cherry talk with Dr. Emma L. Baysal about her National Geographic Society-supported project 'Small Things, Big Stories'.

A new podcast by @thebiaankara.bsky.social in which I talk about my research and what ornaments mean to us all more broadly

Three almost complete small natural fibre baskets in three different sizes, made of twined raw esparto grass. Decorated with geometric motifs made with dyed fibres although these are difficult to discern in my photograph. Found at the Cave of Los Murciélagos(Cave of bats) in southern Spain. The baskets are remarkably well-preserved as a result of the unique conditions in the cave; a combination of low humidity and cooling winds. On display at the National Archaeology Museum in Madrid. Recent analysis has dated the fibre baskets to about 7,500 BC during the Iberian Mesolithic period

Beautiful Mesolithic baskets!

So well-preserved they look modern rather than made by hunter-gatherers some 9,500 years ago!

A rare glimpse of ancient crafts still in use today!

And given the relative levels of looting Hacılar is far more likely

Looks like Hacılar...🤷🏼‍♀️

Imagine waking up to this every morning... Resist the fallacy that life in the past was miserable! There's a lot that's tough about today too, and our ancient ancestors lives were filled with just as much beauty, magic, and joy as our own. Prehistoric ≠ primitive ✊

No need to go to the movies - we have our very own Gladiator that you can feast your eyes on right here.

If you look closely at the finer detail you can just make out that he isn't riding on the back of a rhino. 🙄

I'm here now, and it seems much nicer
