I have put on paper some thoughts on why Central Europe's Neolithic was more diverse than broad narratives often suggest. Drawing on several case studies, I explore regions that developed along their own paths and deserve more attention from future research.

Currently advertising: PhD project on Neolithic waste, based with Henny Piezonka. Project focuses on spatial analysis and the Neolithic. Deadline is 9th Feb. A chance to work with a cool range of sites from Serbia to Poland and you get to live in Berlin, so what's not to like! Link in next post.
Job news!! We're looking for an archaeological chemist to join us on the ReNEW project: on waste management during the transition to the Neolithic. This role will be to carry out organic residue analysis.
The PDRA position is for 2 years: jobs.york.ac.uk/vacancy/post...

How much does it cost to share your own research freely?
Inspired by @laserhedvig.bsky.social I put together a spreadsheet overviewing APCs in several archaeology journals.
Turns out you can publish for free (zero APC) in a #DiamondOpenAccess journal with a similar Impact Factor (JIF).
Check out our new paper exploring why inner peripheries—subtle and often archaeologically underrepresented regions—are essential for complex understanding of major transformations in prehistoric Central Europe
Thanks to all co-authors for the collaboration ( @vaclavhrncir.bsky.social and others)
The spreadsheet is available here:

It’s open for contributions! Please add missing journals, update APCs, or leave comments if something looks off.
The past two decades have revolutionized our understanding of European prehistory, shaping new grand narratives focused on core regions with rich archaeological records. These studies suggest that maj...
