Signs on Stone Age objects: Precursor to written language dates back 40,000 years
uni-saarland.de/en/news/steinz…
Over 40,000 years ago, our early ancestors were already carving signs into tools and sculptures. According to a new analysis by linguist Christian Bentz at Saarland University and archaeologist Ewa Dutkiewicz at the Museum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte (Museum of Prehistory and Early History) in Berlin, these sign sequences have the same level of complexity and information density as the earliest proto-cuneiform script that emerged tens of thousands of years later, around 3,000 B.C.E.
A geometric morphometrics approach to sex estimation of infants from 0 to 6 years using the auricular surface - Scientific Reports
nature.com/articles/s41598-026…
Estimating biological sex is an essential tool for studying past population dynamics and cultural behaviour. Typically, it is not performed in non-adults before the onset of puberty, limiting the knowledge that can be gained from immature skeletal remains. This study used three-dimensional (3D) geometric morphometrics (GM) to examine sexual dimorphism and assess its effectiveness in estimating biological sex in infants aged 0–6 years using the auricular surface of the ilium. This approach was tested with 46 individuals (20 females and 26 males) from the Lisbon Identified Skeletal Collection. All specimens were digitised, and standard GM analysis was conducted. Apparent sex-related morphological differences in the auricular surface were observed in infants under one year, although these did not reach statistical significance at α = 0.05. Such differences were not identified in older individuals. These findings suggest that the auricular surface may potentially serve as a sex indicator in infants under one year, whereas sexual dimorphism appears to decrease in older individuals. This study demonstrates the potential of employing 3D GM for sex estimation in non-adult skeletal remains. Further research should explore additional iliac features for infant sex estimation, incorporate larger and more diverse samples, and potentially include Artificial Intelligence techniques.

Die Archäologie gehört seit fast 200 Jahren zur wissenschaftlichen Tradition der Humboldt-Universität. Ihre Schließung bedeutet den Abbruch einer gewachsenen Forschungstradition und eine dauerhafte Schwächung der Berliner Wissenschaftslandschaft. Die Begründung, Archäologie werde bereits an einer anderen Universität angeboten, greift zu kurz. Wissenschaft lebt von Vielfalt, unterschiedlichen Profilen und konkurrierenden Ansätzen.
