The Kazakh-American paleontological expedition: exploring critical windows in vertebrate evolution
Kazakhstan preserves a rich fossil record, including rare glimpses of some of the most important periods in vertebrate evolution with exceptional preservation. However, a lack of resources and interna...

Had a great time presenting some results from my MPhil at the #SAA2026SFO conference. Was great to meet some of you in person and get so much valuable feedback!

Our new paper builds a set of models to recover real-time seasonality data from serial enamel isotope profiles. It's currently operationalized for Equus, so please use the models on your horse and zebra serial isotope data! The paper is open access and available here: doi.org/10.1016/j.ch...

Excellent #SAA2026SFO talk by @gabrieleru1.bsky.social on "Reconstructing the Lost Archaeological Legacy of Paleolithic Lebanon": Impressive suite of methods to glean info from legacy collections excavated up to 100 years ago! Key paleoecological differences between Middle and Southern Levant

Our new paper on 3D GM has all the models and script available for others to apply our method. We use it to demonstrate interregional variability of Nubian Levallois cores but it has broader potential for lithic studies #openscience #archaeology #3DGM @icarehb.bsky.social @jmcascalheira.bsky.social
📢 We have a new paper out!! Led by the incredible @eshallinan.bsky.social we introduce a novel application of three-dimensional geometric morphometrics (GM) to quantify the shape variability of Nubian Levallois cores. #archaeology #openscience @icarehb.bsky.social
