ERC-Consolidator-2024 results announced
“We are the only surviving human species on Earth. But it hasn’t always been that way. Fifty or sixty thousand years ago, several different hominid populations still inhabited the planet,” says Prof. Małgorzata Kot from the Faculty of Archaeology at the University of Warsaw, recipient of an ERC Consolidator Grant. As part of the grant awarded by the European Commission, she will carry out the project INASIA: Are They Modern Humans? The Initial Upper Paleolithic in Western Central Asia.

a note in the University of Warsaw Magazine:
Laboratory in Tashkent
The laboratory we are establishing will be a space where all kinds of non-invasive analyses can be conducted—both of artifacts and discovered bones. It will also allow for the collection of samples in sterile conditions for further specialized analyses. We will also have the ability to carry out basic analyses of collected sediment and bone samples on site, in order to minimize the volume of material transported to Poland, says Prof. Małgorzata Kot.
