Fantastic research by Hsiao-chun Hung and colleagues published today in @pnas.org . Thanks @newscientist.com for soliciting my opinion on the research, allowing me to highlight how interesting and amazing Southeast Asia is culturally, not to mention ancient!

Slightly delayed, but I appreciate the feature @flindersuniversity.bsky.social

Shout out to @mikegeoarch.bsky.social who was a big part of this success.

On behalf of my co-convenors @mikegeoarch.bsky.social, Ali (crouched beside me) & Michelle (left of Chris Hunt), thanks to @mdpetraglia.bsky.social for organising the theme in which our session was in, & everyone who presented their work, those who attended our session, and organised the conference.

10th World Archaeology Congress has wrapped up. Here's us who presented in the session 'Microarchaeology—Using Micro-analytical Techniques to Elucidate the Deep Environmental Past and the Evolution of Our Species'. Our session and the whole of the conference was largely successful

Check out our new paper in JAS describing a new Pleistocene combustion feature from the Riverlands in South Australia. Fantastic to collaborate with the River Murray and Mallee Aboriginal Corporation, Flinders colleagues and other collaborators

It was an absolute honour to have contributed a small part to this work, an important contribution to understanding the formation and preservation of combustion features in Late Pleistocene open sites in Australia and globally. #microstratigraphy #geoarchaeology #Sahul

Was that the staff card that didn't work in most of the lab doors? If it is, then that's a great way to repurpose it!

Thanks to all the co-authors and especially @mikegeoarch.bsky.social for the vote of confidence to do some of the microarchaeological analysis. I believe this is my first paper analysing an arid environment site!

Amazing finds. Expected, but only now realised, thanks to dreaming big, being unprecedented, & right timing & support. Harold Berghuis PhD! Bravo!

Check out our new highly-citable entry, Southeast Asian Caves, in the 2nd edition Encyclopedia of Geoarchaeology, co-authored with 2 fantastic former PhD students of mine, @ingatkatandaan.bsky.social & Conor McAdams

Beginning work this 2025 @flindersuniversity.bsky.social, part of a project using archaeological science to better understand the long history of Early Modern Period Cambodia, aimed at unravelling stories of resilience anchored on a deeper understanding of economy, industry & environmental change.

A great little piece in the latest issue of Australian Geographic about our newly ARC-funded Australian Microarchaeology and Palaeosciences Facility (AusMAP), currently in the process of being constructed. Featuring a small photo of @ingatkatandaan.bsky.social in the current lab. Watch this space!!
