As summer begins, it is time to change the site banner. The old picture was of the Medieval/Bronze Age/Lower Paleolithic site of Dmanisi. The new image comes from my recent field trip to Kazakhstan, and features several members of our team surveying a terrace in the Charyn Canyon region. In the background are the majestic Tian Shan mountains, marking the border with Krygyzstan (south) and China (east).
The Charyn Canyon has a rich pre-history, some of which you can read about in this manuscript co-authored by two of our team members (Jean-Marc and Renato).
