Dear assessment committee would be a fine choice, I reckon - but that won’t be make or break!

Europe's oldest blue pigment

Dating back ~13,000 years, it questions the long-held belief that Palaeolithic artists only used red or black and indicates a more vibrant Ice Age world than previously imagined

I, too, am proud to share this quite exciting finding with you: Europe's oldest mineral blue pigment. It's azurite and we found it on a legacy object that had long languished in a storehouse. New analysis bring new insights :) #palaeolithicblues

Time to update your Palaeolithic palettes... 🔵

Very proud to share our new research on the OLDEST use of blue pigment! We identified traces of azurite - a vibrant blue mineral - on a stone object around 14-13,000 years old. Why is this so exciting? 👇🏺

Close-up image of a sand coloured stone, with a diagonal crack. The sand rock has a textured surface, and small spots of blue can be seen towards the centre of the stone. The background is grey. Microscopic photo of the blue spots, that are irregular in shape and size and positioned diagonally across the image. The rest of the photo shows the rough sand coloured texture of the stone.

The 8.2 ka event had a major but regionally variable climatic impact in the Northern Hemisphere. In Denmark, it impacted lakes and rivers, which were essential landscape features for contemporaneous foragers. There is also evidence for a marked increase in sand drift...

It's not just the Financial Times last weekend - in parallel, the insurance industry is also increasingly concerned about the risks of #AMOC slowing or shut-down. See this article in The Journal of the Chartered Insurance Institute:
