Soil temp, not just rainfall, may have driven the shifting geography of millet farming in Neolithic East Asia. A 3°C mid-Holocene cooling compressed cultivation zones and pushed farming southward. #Neolithic #Archaeobotany #Paleoanthropology https://www.anthropology.net/p/the-ground-went-cold-soil-temperature

The history of olive cultivation in the southern Levant

Abstract The olive tree (Olea europaea L. subsp. europaea var. europaea) is one of the most important crops across the Mediterranean, particularly the southern Levant. Its regional economic impor…

Early farmers accidentally bred “warrior” wheat — plants shaped over millennia to fight neighbors for light and space. Then modern breeding had to undo all of it. A wild loop in crop evolution. #HumanEvolution #Archaeobotany #CropScience https://www.anthropology.net/p/how-early-farmers-accidentally-bred

New climate models show wild wheat and barley were less widespread 12,000 years ago than today—and got scarcer as the climate warmed. #Archaeology #NeolithicRevolution #PlantDomestication #Archaeobotany https://www.anthropology.net/p/when-the-climate-got-better-the-plants

I've passed my #viva (yay!) and can now share two recent publications:

First, our article on reconstructing prehistoric land cover in the Humberhead Levels is now out in Vegetation History and #Archaeobotany.

We applied the Multiple Scenario Approach to produce spatially-informed quantitative reconstructions across four #prehistoric periods, working through the complexities of #wetland-rich 'blue-green' #landscapes where #freshwater and #marine systems intersect.

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00334-026-01087-6

Second, I contributed to the #archaeology chapter in The Palgrave Handbook of #Anarchism (March 2026), which connects #anarchist theory and #history to contemporary political developments.

https://link.springer.com/book/9783031980299

More publications on the way as well and on to what comes next, whatever that might be (pls send me your #postdoc postings 🙏 😅 ).

From seeds to stories! - In a hands-on #fieldschool in #archaeobotany on #Elephantine Island in November, hosted by #Kairo_DAI and supported by @AuswaertigesAmt, colleagues from the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities gained unique insights into ancient Egyptian life - from what people cultivated and ate to how they built, traded, and practiced rituals.
