Merci pour tous les bons moments partagés. Tu vas nous manquer, Pierre.
Thank you for the wonderful moments we shared. We will miss you Pierre.
Celebrating our colleague Lena for completing her Marie Curie Postdoctoral Fellowship at TraceoLab! Your intelligence and kindness have impacted us all. We look forward to your future successes! 🎉 #CareerMilestone #ResearchExcellence
An unforgettable experience for our lab! 🧬✨We had the privilege to meet Dr. Svante Pääbo, Nobel Prize winner in Medicine 2022 for his pioneering work on the Neanderthal genome. 🧬It was an incredible opportunity to discuss our research with him.
We're excited to share the launch of "Guildford Fire Station: Excavation of a Late Upper Palaeolithic Campsite in the River Wey Valley, Surrey," co-authored by Sonja Tomasso & Veerle Rots. Download it here: buff.ly/4hKNxMS #Archaeology #Palaeolithic
Our latest research in PLOS ONE explores how weathering and burial processes impact stone tool residues in temperate environments. It features the first biweekly monitoring of residue weathering over a year and a long-term burial analysis. 🌱🗓️ buff.ly/48ffQOS
Today, as part of the SAPEX project, we had the privilege of working with Master Craftsman Harold Lamon, a true expert in green woodworking. It's been an incredible experience learning from a true master! #experimentalarchaeology #SPURULiege
Last week, we had the honor of welcoming Pierre-Jean Texier (Emeritus Research Director, CNRS - UMR LAMPEA) to our lab, where he shared his immense experience and skills as part of an experiment on blade production.
📜 Exciting news from the Stone Age History of Clothing conference in Halle/Saale, Germany! Veerle Rots, Sonja Tomasso, and Dries Cnuts presented their research on plant working : "Functional Approaches to Understand Plant Processing and Fibre Technology in the Paleolithic."
