Amazing discovery! Featuring the work of Laura Buck, Emma Pomeroy and Jay Stock of the @PaveCambridge research group. nitter.gq/NewsfromScience/status…
A finger bone uncovered in Saudi Arabia is about 88,000 years old, making it the oldest directly dated fossil of our species found outside Africa or its immediate vicinity in the eastern Mediterranean: scim.ag/2IEMpJ4
This beautiful pendant was found during excavations at Kostenki 17 last summer. It was left behind by a modern human over 40,000 years ago. #EMHEProject #IceAge #culture
This lithic from Kostënki 17 was discarded after being used as a core for small bladelets, which were detached down its edge. Some of these bladelets were then further shaped, probably for use on hunting kit.

The section at Kostёnki 6 last summer, showing the stratigraphic dip of deposits of volcanic ash (grey). Stone tools and bones were found underlying this ash layer.

Excavations at Kostёnki 6 last summer, led by Alexei Artyushenko. Archaeological material at Kostёnki 6 - some of which is over 45,000 years old - was found lying within a palaeo-ravine. #EMHEProject #Archaeology

Read all about it: the only plausibly Gravettian burial in Russia. Our paper on Kostënki 18 now up on @AntiquityJ (with @EMHEProject @ThibautDeviese @tommyhigham) #palaeolithic #archaeology cambridge.org/core/journals/…
An awesome shot of the 2017 excavations at Kostёnki 17 in Russia, led by Alexander Bessudnov.
This is the younger of the site’s two archaeological layers, dating to about 35,000 years ago-you can see a woolly rhino pelvis in the top left 🦏#EMHEProject #Archaeology #Palaeolithic

Rob Dinnis (@britishmuseum) takes us to Kostënki to discuss the typological diagnosis of the archaeological assemblages there. 🇷🇺 #ESHE2017
And Kostënki 17 is one of the sites our very own Rob Dinnis will be speaking about at #ESHE2017 this weekend 🤓👍
