Why I quit itsmoreofacomment.com/2022/10/28/w... (and it is the same for Researchgate...)
I may instead orient you towards @orcid.org instead, HAL in France, Zenodo etc.
Thank you @archaeobasti.bsky.social for this post few years ago but still very relevant.

And do journals compare? I find the same kind of results as Marwick (2025), but the list of journal is rather different. "Harder" journals are Conservation/Museum artifacts studies journals. "Softer" journals are review journals.

How does openalex.org compares with Web of Science? OpenAlex (which is free and #opensource) has MUCH more data, but apparently a bit less curated yet. Will improve for sure thanks to public institutions now supporting the project!

Anyone here capable of explaining to me what the community of archaeologists working on starch grains think about this paper: doi.org/10.1016/j.so...
I am no specialist but it seems to destroy the entire field of research: almost no grain can be identified in dry environment after few months...🧪🏺

We are leaving in a few days but we had the chance to prepare our comeback since a local amateur has shown us the marvels of their collection!

After few days in Montserrat, back to Antigua, no museum today, so we went for a beach where you can find flint. Antigua is THE origin of flint in the Lesser Antilles (other silicites are used but flint comes from here). The beach is pretty nice too... we found our renting house for the next mission

And you? Did you know about the www.academictree.org/anthropology participating website?
You can contribute you own knowledge of the academic tree! Will you join the Top 20 contributors, as @lucdoyon.bsky.social and myself did? 🤩

Apparently, I am scientifically descended from Darwin and Haüy (one of the founders of crystallography and gemology). What could have gone wrong? 😀

Just arrived with Pierrick Fouere in Antigua to continue our analysis of Caribbean Ceramic Age lapidary production! First Carib after 20 hours of travel. Funded by GPR Human Past from @univbordeaux.bsky.social @pacea.bsky.social @umr5608traces.bsky.social

Roughness parameters just became much easier to understand and explain thanks to Sensofar handbook with great 3d views explaining them!

And some nice drawings added by my colleague Pierrick Fouéré, helping interpretation of the technical skills of such lapidary production. Go check on our database 🔽🔽🔽

Have you seen our reply to the claims about Homo naledi "burials"? It's open access in PaleoAnthropology: t.co/z6WZQjzpTb
We demonstrate the numerous issues with the sedimentological evidence presented. In the end, geoarchaeology as it is presented do not support the burial claims at all 🏺🧪
