We’re losing so many legends in archaeology. Here is a lovely tribute to Tony Marks, who died in August. He was incredibly encouraging to me, and supported our work revisiting the Nubian technology he first characterised. He will be missed.

Amazing! Please share more if you can. We need to hear more about research reaching local young people ❤️
Join us today for Session 8 in room 0.5 for talks on archaeology outreach and education in Africa, with a “show and tell” of outreach materials 4-5pm #SAfA2025
Thanks to everyone who presented, attended the talks and joined discussions and dinner of our #SAfA2025 session on open air sites. We had a great day of inspiring inputs - there is lots of connections and lots to expect from arid open air archaeology in southern Africa in the next years 💪🇿🇦🇧🇼🇳🇦

Sad to learn that C. Garth Sampson has passed away. He was a kind and encouraging man; as Janette Deacon commented, Garth "made an outstanding contribution to the Stone Age archaeology of the Karoo and southern Africa and will long be remembered." We are standing on the shoulders of these giants
