BBC: Should a top Russian archaeologist face trial for digging in occupied Crimea?. “A senior scholar at the Hermitage, Russia’s largest art museum in St Petersburg, [Alexander Butyagin] has led the museum’s expedition at the site of Myrmekion in Crimea since 1999, well before Russia’s illegal landgrab of Ukraine’s southern peninsula in 2014. Supporters argue his work has helped preserve […]

Don't do this. You get into serious trouble - and we (as in: not only #archaeologists, but literally everybody) irretrievably lose valuable knowledge about our shared past and history.

#Humans ignited fire 350,000 years earlier than previously thought.

Earliest evidence of making fire

Fire-making is a uniquely human innovation that stands apart from other complex behaviours such as tool production, symbolic culture & social communication. Controlled fire use provided adaptive opportunities that had profound effects on human evolution. Benefits included warmth, protection from predators, cooking & creation of illuminated spaces that became focal points for social interaction. Fire use developed over a million years, progressing from harvesting natural fire to maintaining and ultimately making fire4. However, determining when and how fire use evolved is challenging because natural and anthropogenic burning are hard to distinguish. Although geochemical methods have improved interpretations of heated deposits, unequivocal evidence of deliberate fire-making has remained elusive. Here we present evidence of fire-making on a 400,000-year-old buried landsurface at Barnham (UK), where heated sediments and fire-cracked flint handaxes were found alongside two fragments of iron pyrite—a mineral used in later periods to strike sparks with flint. Geological studies show that pyrite is locally rare, suggesting it was brought deliberately to the site for fire-making. The emergence of this technological capability provided important social and adaptive benefits, including the ability to cook food on demand—particularly meat—thereby enhancing digestibility and energy availability, which may have been crucial for hominin brain evolution

"In #Germany, in the #historic center of #Berlin, #archaeologists have discovered the last remaining fragments of #prewar buildings on the territory of the current #MarxandEngelsForum. The team, led by #archaeologist Gerson Joite, is exploring and documenting the basements of houses along the former #Burgstrasse — a place where dozens of #Jewish families lived before #WorldWarII. It is reported that important objects of Jewish life were located on this street, including the famous "King of Portugal" hotel, which had its own #synagogue and #kosher kitchen. During the #Nazi regime, all these buildings were forcibly taken from their Jewish owners, and after the war, most of them disappeared due to destruction and redevelopment during the #GDR period."

Egyptian #archaeologists, including renowned Zahi Hawass, are renewing calls for its return, alongside other artefacts such as the #Rosetta Stone. While some argue the bust belongs in #Egypt, German authorities maintain its legitimacy and cite concerns over its fragility. (3/4)
