A great overview of our project on Lion Cavern, one of the oldest known #ochre #pigment mines in the world & its importance both in the past and present! (and some early results!) @dai_weltweit @dailymaverick #kaak_dai @BrandiLeeWhat @JorgLinstadter

Up on the Bomvu Ridge, high up in the hills north of the Eswatini capital of Mbabane, the re-excavation of Lion Cavern — possibly the oldest mine in the world — is lending further evidence to southern Africa’s position as not only the cradle of humankin... dailymaverick.co.za/article/2023-0…



Very happy that our new paper is out in @ScienceAdvances showing direct evidence of #ochre used as lithic reotuchers during the MSA! "Unveiling the multifunctional use of ochre in the Middle Stone Age: Specialized ochre retouchers from Blombos Cave science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

In case you missed it! Our paper "Ochre Communities of Practice in Stone Age Eswatini" is out, OA in @NatureComms This study has been close to my heart for many years and I'm so happy it's out. Some highlights... /🧵 nature.com/articles/s4146…


I am so excited to participate in this discussion with these amazing specialists on #ochre and all of its complexities. There's still 1 week left to register!

Why are #ochre and #sourcing investigations so worthwhile in archaeology? I have thought about this a lot – and I wrote about it here (DM if you want a copy): oxfordhandbooks.com/newsitem/585/w…
