In Athens on 23rd of September, we’re organising a workshop on the Paleolithic in Jordan at ICHAJ — discussing present and future research in the region. I’ll be presenting on Nubian Levallois in Jordan, with AI helping me create illustrations. @icarehb.bsky.social

Refitted sequence from our newly discovered site, Chessungalane in Mozambique: Early removals caused the pebble to fracture in half due to natural flaws. Knappers then took advantage of the flat fracture to produce bladelets from the narrow surface @icarehb.bsky.social
