We had a fantastic experience attending and presenting at #ESHE2025 for the first time. Even little Luca enjoyed the trip! Looking forward to attending next year 😁

It’s been a week! Managed to spend some time in my favorite hobbit hole after 5 years of pandemic and childbirth 😁 Looking forward to the next 5 years of active fieldwork and lots of nasi goreng!

Sampai jumpa tahun depan 🫶

Additional evidence of cultural modifications of marine mollusks suggests that humans living at/around Liang Bua had strong cultural ties to the coast 🐚

The shell midden was comprised of mainly freshwater mollusks and is dated to between 4,400 and 3,300 years ago - with the majority broken at their apices indicating human consumption! 🐚😋

Through analysis of pottery and shell fragments, Agus and team show that pottery, which is often associated with Austronesian cultures at the time, was introduced at Liang Bua at ~3,300 years ago suggesting farming and sedentism 🐚🏺

We know a lot more about what butchery looks like on large animals than small animals. So what are the limits of mark variation in butchered small game, like rats? Stay tuned 😁
