Dear Archaeology.
From January I'll be unemployed. Deadline for my PhD Dissertation is March. The usual thing than would be to submit project proposals.
Anyway, if you need additional workforce, I could be yours. Thread 1/4

The Palestinian 🇵🇸 women achaeologists and fieldworkers who worked at the excavation of - and recognised - the Tabun 1 #Neanderthal skull! I'm an anthropologist, I didn't know! It's crucial to highlight the story of the people behind discoveries!
#WomenInSTEM #WomenInPrehistory #PaleoAnth #science
🏺 The first remains of Tabun 1 were recognised by Yusra, a Palestinian woman who had already dug for years with Garrod. Here is Yusra in 1932 with other young women fieldworkers named as Rashidi and Amui Haj, and in 1934 with Dorothy Garrod.
