New article published: Underneath the Surface: Examining “Hidden Lesions” With Paleoimaging at Moita do Sebastião, Mesolithic Muge, Portugal onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.... a thread to highlight the key points^^

PaleoIMAGING @pages-ipo.bsky.social with MARUM participation launched: New international #network to foster the #reconstruction of past #climate and environmental variability with the highest temporal resolution ➡️ www.marum.de/en/PaleoIMAG...

I am @unimainz.bsky.social this week for the 1st #PaleoIMAGING workshop. Great discussions on high-res techniques like micro-XRF, hyperspectral imaging & uCT on various paleo-archives. Kudos to Igor Obreht and his team for the organisation! Nice to also see familiar faces like @dadevlee.bsky.social

It’s been an exciting year of research, a lot of imaging, and new collaborations.
If you’d like to collaborate or want a copy of any of these articles, feel free to reach out! 🤝✨

📌 Underneath the Surface: Examining “Hidden Lesions” With Paleoimaging at Moita do Sebastião (Mesolithic Muge, Portugal)
Paleoimaging revealed changes invisible macroscopically, allowing discussions on health status, normal variability, and taphonomy

Fossil discoveries like Dar-es-Soltane II H5 shed light not only on ancient health conditions but also on the social dynamics of care in prehistoric communities.

Paleoimaging was crucial in examining the inner ear of Dar-es-Soltane II H5, revealing modifications in the bony labyrinth, specifically, a partial ossification of the semicircular canals.
