And here I thought the hardest part of writing a research paper was doing the actual research and putting it on paper. - not all of the formalities required prior to submission...

Det er fandme svært at lave arkæologi når der ingen anlæg er i grøfterne.

I’m curious to see what such models might be able to do if applied to ancient DNA - especially for (ultra) low-coverage genomes.

Never say never. Somewhere in the Siberian permafrost I guarantee you there is a fully preserved, fabulous Neanderthal gay dude. All you need then is just a swab from all of the… Right places.

Deer used to be wild.

Or “arrow” heads. Though experiments have shown that modern replicas can indeed be shot effectively from a bow they might as well have been used with an atlatl or similar technology.

While the Bromme people are pretty ephemeral in the archaeological record they did leave behind huge arrow heads along with a few other tools like awls and scrapers.

If we’ll ever get the opportunity, these samples could hold traces of DNA from plants, trees and animals living during a period where semi-sedentary hunter-gatherers migrated into Southern Scandinavia.

If we’re right, this peat was formed during the Allerød, a 1200 year interstadial warm period from 11.800-10.600 BC, just before the end of the last ice age.

That’s genius. I wonder what they’d call such a scheme?

Dagens udsigt: første 1 km ud af et 12 km kabeltracé. Er der arkæologi i det? Et par kogestensgruber men de tæller sgu ikke. Til gengæld er der masser af guf til landbrugsgokkerne som er til dybdeharvning…

If an American ship docks in Nuuk one of these days with a crudely painted red cross along the side we know that Trump as been watching Troy this weekend.
