It's #WorldHeritageDay! In 2017 caves from the #IceAge on the Swabian Jura became UNESCO World Heritage Site. Humanity's earliest portable art was found in those caves. The tiny (3.7 cm) but amazing figure of a woolly mammoth carved in mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago was discovered at the Vogelherd cave.
'Hiking through swamps, cutting across thick bush, and canoeing across open waters, archaeologists have identified a corridor through Vancouver Island where Indigenous peoples may have sojourned 18,500 years ago.'
Abstract: Mutually beneficial partnerships between genomics researchers and North American Indigenous Nations are rare yet becoming more common. Here, we present one such partnership that provides insight into the peopling of the Americas and furnishes another line of evidence that can be used to further treaty and Indigenous...
Unsere inklusive #Ausstellung „Urformen. Eiszeitkunst zum Anfassen“ bietet nicht nur sehbeeinträchtigten Menschen einen Zugang. In unserer App haben wir gleich vier verschiedene Touren im Angebot:
Timeline of Earth's average temperatures since the last Ice Age glaciation, 22,000 years ago. More of a comic than a graphic. It appears that our natural world and biosphere will become increasingly unstable without drastic reductions in carbon emissions. #iceage#ClimateDiary#comic#globalwarming https://xkcd.com/1732

Join us for a special embroidery workshop that will transport you back to the Ice Age. Facilitated by the talented Ciara from The Wild Stitch, you’ll learn basic needle and embroidery skills while creating a Beringia themed masterpiece.
January: Microraptor and the Flowers. I started this year out making paleoart watercolours and never really stopped. This one is about a Microraptor investigating the first flowers she’s ever seen. The flowers are Lingyuananthus, a lovely little fossil flower described in an even lovelier paper that was not behind a paywall for once.
August: Spring on the mammoth steppe. When the time came to do some art set in the Quaternary, I decided to depict a real life location and how it would have changed in the past few hundred thousand years. This spot is just west of Baden-Baden (which is in the glacier valley to the upper left), on the edge of the Schwartzwald. I also enjoyed depicting an ice age spring. It wasn’t always snow and ice.
I'm in awe: holding a 40,000-year-old #IceAge masterpiece in your hand is something you don't get to do every day!
The amazing figurine of a woolly mammoth is carved in mammoth ivory. It will be on display at Archäologisches Landesmuseum Baden-Württemberg from Saturday.
Found in the Vogelherd cave on the Swabian Jura, south-west Germany.
An #IceAge masterpiece: the oldest known representation of a bird.
The small carving (4.7cm) of a water bird was made from mammoth ivory some 40,000 years ago. It's thought to be a diver, cormorant, or duck.Found in the Hohle Fels cave on the Swabian Jura.
On display at our branch museum Urgeschichtliches Museum Blaubeuren.
Pigati et al have redated a deposit from New Mexico that contains human footprints. The original ages, derived from freshwater plant seeds, suggested the humans were there during the Last Glacial Maximum, over 20,000 years ago. This proved controversial, so they redated the deposit by radiocarbon dating pollen, and optically stimulated luminescence. These techniques are far more challenging, but confirm the original age determination. #Radiocarbon#IceAge#HumanMigrationhttps://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/science.adh5007
