Experts against automation? Comparing artificial intelligence and human identifications of multi-cell cereal husk phytoliths
This study compares the efficacy of a deep learning-based computer vision model against manual expert identification of multi-cell husk phytoliths from wheat ( Triticum boeticum/dicoccoides ), barley ( Hordeum spontaneum ), and oats ( Avena sativa ). Conducted via an online survey in 2024 with twelve respondents (92% completion rate, one respondent did not finish), the survey presented 18 phytolith images selected based on: 1) deep learning perfo…
Developing Geo-Ethnoarchaeological Methods for Studying Archaeological Pastoral Sites
This paper presents the aims, methods, and some initial results of the project ‘(Re)Constructing the Archaeology of Mobile Pastoralism (CAMP)’, a multi-disciplinary investigation into anthropogenic deposits from pastoral contexts in dryland regions. Ethnoarchaeology has played a pivotal role in transforming the study of pastoralism, particularly in environments where material traces are often ephemeral and underrepresented in the archaeological r…

Open Practices in Phytolith Research
The open research movement has gained momentum in the last decade and no academic can ignore the necessity to make research more open, as it improves reliability, sustainability and reusability of data. In this paper, we present the results of a community-based survey concerning the extent to which open practices are known and applied within the phytolith research community. The survey covered aspects of research including the use of open source/…
Archaeobotany in an era of change and challenge
Apart from helping us understand past communities' response to climate change and their plant management resilience mechanisms, archaeobotanical information may also serve as a basis to rethink our economic system and implement new solutions to current challenges (e.g. re-adopt forgotten crops or implement circular economy models). Already fragile by nature, the integrity of archaeobotanical heritage is affected by current climate events, such as…

Direct evidence of Neanderthal fibre technology and its cognitive and behavioral implications
Neanderthals are often considered as less technologically advanced than modern humans. However, we typically only find faunal remains or stone tools at Paleolithic sites. Perishable materials, comprising the vast majority of material culture items, are typically missing. Individual twisted fibres on stone tools from the Abri du Maras led to the hypothesis of Neanderthal string production in the past, but conclusive evidence was lacking. Here we s…
