Hello! 👋 I’m an archaeologist who studies the last 5,000 years of human history across eastern North America! I work primarily in the American Southeast, from Southern Appalachia to the Coast, on Ancestral Muskogean, Spanish Colonial, and Gullah-Geechee #archaeology!

Thanks to @archaeojake.bsky.social and the Penn State Anthropology department for letting me explore some ideas about the evolution and development of our quirky cousin Homo naledi
Title slide that reads "From the Cradle to the Grave: Homo naledi and the evolution of development, Zachary Cofran Vassar College, Penn State University, November 11 2025." The slide includes an image of a globe centered on the Cradle of Humankind in South Africa, next to an image depicting many individuals of the species Homo naledi preparing to toss a dead body into a cave.

Copy of an academic/scientific poster for a study titled "Pre- and post-Emancipation Gullah/Geechee Oyster Harvesting on Ossabaw Island, Georgia." The study ues oyster morphologies from oysters recovered archaeologically to compare oyster harvesting practices between enslaved and Free black communities on the Georgia coast. A copy of an academic/scientific poster titled "Organizing the Space and Daily Life of Enslaved Communities at Middle place Plantation on Ossabaw Island, Georgia." The study uses artifact distributions from hole excavated systematically across an enslaved communities to better understand how space was used by the members of enslaved families on the Georgia coast.

Sharing for conference organizers: I’ve been part of many Indigenous science sessions at the major science organizations— Ecological Society of America, American Geophysical Union, Soil Science Society of America, and now Living Data. I’m so appreciative to be part of these communities.

Today’s experiment: can crispy chicken sliders with cheese and pickles be used to fuel a 15mi run?

Results: absolutely.

Don’t be puzzled by the lack of deadline in the ad. This is an imposed HR quirk. Reviews will begin c. November 1st! Happy to field any questions! #archaeology

“it’s reasonable…to ask the economists to sit still long enough to encounter the basic questions lobbed at every first-year grad student. Mastery of these questions is not just a status signifier; it shows that you understand what has been said, so you can contribute something new and meaningful.”

Bit confused by the media framing on the new Yunxian paper. No where is it stated that H. sapiens (as a species) is older than we thought, but rather “The origin of the sapiens clade is estimated to be about 1.02 Ma.”

A clade with an origin 1 Ma is much different than a species with an origin 1 Ma
