Once again, we would like to thank all participants of #KielScales25 for the fascinating presentations and fruitful discussions. We are currently compiling the take-home messages of all sessions on the Kiel Conference website: www.kielconference.uni-kiel.de (3/3)

After the closing session of the Kiel Conference, many participants took the opportunity to go on excursions, for example to the CAU's Medical History Collection or the Albersdorf Archaeological-Ecological Centre (2/3)

Last week our PI was talked about isotopes, metals and "one health" in Kiel Conference #KielScales25 (Kiel, Germany), and then was invited to present the project ERC PollutedPast at the first Spanish meeting about lead in Roman times: Plvbvm Hispaniae (La Carolina, Jaén).
Great week !!!!
Almost the whole picture is filled with the book titled "The Early Neolithic of Northern Europe - New Approaches to migration, movement and social connection" by Daniela Hofmann, Ricky Cummings, Matthias Bjoornevad-Ahlqvist and Rune Iversen as editors! Thr keyboard of my laptop is in the upper background of the picture.
Coming from yet another amazing conference (thanks #KielScales25) to find this book on my doorstep - life doesn't get much better 😊
Perfect timing to enjoy a brew 🫖☕️ and have a snoop before going back to work on my #PhD 😅☀️

Waiting for my ferry home, I'm thinking back to my first Kiel Conference #KielScales25.
I had a great week, and I come home enriched both in knowledge and human contact. It was a wonderfully organized event, and it had great scientific quality - plus the people were very cool. Thanks, Kiel!
Probably the last talk of #KielScales25 for me, @sarahbockmeyer.bsky.social talking about possible interpretations of personhood of certain stones used in Funnel Beaker burials. Such a compelling idea, and a cool talk.

Another great day at #KielScales25: sessions on human mobility, Neolithic seascapes, or architecture as a microuniverse of prehistoric societies, among others, followed by @rebaysalisbury.bsky.social's inspiring keynote speech ‘Sex, Gender and the Third Science Revolution’. Thans to all presenters!
Last day at #KielScales25! Yrja Skioerum passionately talked to us about the amazing encounters and relationships between human and red deer depicted on Scandinavian rock art.
»Can we find gender diversity in European prehistory?« This question will be explored by @rebaysalisbury.bsky.social today at 6 pm in the last #keynote of #KielScales25. She gave us a little preview. More tonight: events.kielconference25.smart-abstract.com#/event/83447
#genderarchaeology #diversity
Fun talk to follow by Albert Garcia-Piquer who took us through some impressive work of agent-based modelling of navigation developed to infer maritime connectivity networks. #KielScales25
Urban settlements existed in the #Amazon basin long before Columbus. In her keynote lecture on Tuesday, Bolivian archaeologist Carla Jaimes Betancourt (@unibonn.bsky.social) explained why #Lidar helps to rediscover these settlements. She also told us why she became an archaeologist 👇
#KielScales25
Today we continue with the Young Scientist session; sessions on Neolithic seascapes; major tranistions in Human History; Identities, Personhood and Social Relations - to name but a few. The whole programme: 👇

This was the third day of the KIel Conference #KielScales25 with stimulating sessions and discussions, the poster session, the roundtable "Unearthing Bias: Confronting
Sexism in Archaeology" and the casual conference dinner in the Lille Brewery. (1/2)

Mikael Fauvelle talked about patterns of Pitted Ware ceramics provenances along the coasts of the Baltic Sea pointing to some system of long distance exchanges covering a 400 km long areal over the sea. #KielScales25
Jacob Alvå showed parallels between rock art in Scandinavia and umiaks - a type of skin boat that is used in Greenland and seem to match some of the earliest rock art. #KielScales25
Christian Horn and Sebastian Schultrich presented the (convincing) case for the existence of a maritime warrior figure before the Bronze Age in Scandinavia, posing questions about warfare in the Neolithic. #KielScales25
Session 12 at #KielScales25: Niccolò Mazzucco opened the session showing the awesome finds at the site La Marmotta that speak to the advanced navigation technology that could be found in the Mediterranean Neolithic.
Great participation in our session on AI in Archaeology at #KielScales25. Many interesting talks, projects and ideas on how to use and deal with AI and ML applications.
A really wonderful discussion why "digital literacy" is also important for archaeological research.

In a few minutes the Roundtable: ”Unearthing Bias: Confronting
Sexism in Archaeology“ starts at the #KielScales25 Conference. @rebaysalisbury.bsky.social has conducted a survey on this topic in German-speaking countries.

#Diversity is another very important topic at the #KielScales25 Conference. We are proud to show for the first time in Germany the exhibition "Sexism in Archaeology".

Dear participants of the #KielScales25 Conference: In half an hour, the #postersession will start in the foyer of the Audimax at @uni-kiel.de You have the choice which poster will receive the #PosterAward on Friday. Simply scan the QR code on the card in the conference pack and vote!
I don't know why this hashtag is so hard for me to remember... It's #KielScales25 of course 😂
Martin Hinz put forward several important questions that have to do with the epistemology of digital methods. Are we critical enough with our methods? Are we aware of the biases intrinsic to digitality? Or are we replicating old and sometimes outdated biases? #KielScales25
My third morning of #KielScales25 was spent fully at (and am still at) session 27: Sensory Transformations. I come out inspired. I was never exposed to this approach to archaeology, and it was very thought-provoking to hear about it. It definitely kick-started some thoughts.
Only a few tickets left for our #confernceDinner at the Lille Brewery in Kiel! We hope to see many of you tonight for a great evening with good food and drinks. 🏺

Mehmet Özdoğan (Istanbul) has been researching the #Neolithic in #Anatolia for 60 years. In his keynote on Monday, he discussed latest findings and the changing perception of the Neolithic. In an interview, he also revealed the coincidence that led him to #archaeology.
