Maps are the most common way to visualise spatial data in an easily understandable way. Therefore, they are still used today as a powerful tool in, e.g., Quaternary sciences and...
Within the past year, we (Project Z4) centred our efforts on a large scale analysis of geography textbooks intended for secondary schools from England, Germany and France. Our goal was...
Since Babylonian times humans are known to capture the world they are living in by means of maps. We draw and retain maps every day, mentally, for ourselves. They play...
The diffusion of knowledge is a pivotal task in the modern world, especially for archaeologists that are working at the front line of heritage reconstruction. In the last years, projects...
In the past Europeans travelled to the colonies in Africa and extracted resources. Among the resources were artefacts that were part of the heritage of many different regions in Africa....
We love names. Names are the ultimate tool for organising our world in known entities, and archaeology does not make exception to that. In Palaeolithic Archaeology, French scholars have been...
Successful luminescence dating of potassium feldspar grains is dependent on reliable estimates of the dosing from ionising radiation from cosmic sources, surrounding sediments, and from the grains themselves. The internal...
Summer at 2300 m a.s.l. in the Italian Alps is nice but short (Fig. 1). Luckily, it’s not too short for some archaeological excavations among rock glaciers and malghas (overnight...
On December 5-6, 2019, the E3-Project organized the international workshop "Mapping the unmappable? African hunter-gatherer relations with their environment and cartography" at the Thyssen Foundation in Cologne. The workshop explored...
Human mobility and demography are intrinsically related. Most prominently is the idea that human migration is driven by population growth. But there is more to it. Already in the demographic...
On the 12th and 13th of October 2019 Dr Christian Hoggard (Department of Archaeology, University of Southampton) gave an introduction into “Geometric Morphometrics for Archaeologists”. Geometric Morphometrics (GMM) focuses on...
Project Z4 is focused on how we can bring the CRC-806 findings and results to schools and to pupils. More precisely, the focus is on the ways comparison is used...
Spatio-temporal clustering schemes for archaeological sites face challenges when dealing with probabilistic interpretation of uncertain dating and calibration outcomes of archaeological findings. The calibration of radiocarbon dates yields an entire...
On the 13-16th of November, the Museo de Málaga (Spain) hosted an international workshop about Effects of paleoclimatic and catastrophic events since the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM) on mobility, migration,...
Heinrich events (HEs) are recognized as the dominant periods of extreme cold terrestrial climate conditions during the last glacial period. HEs indicate a remarkable source of fresh and cold water...
