    African students legally registered in Ukrainian universities, who are fleeing the conflict, are banned from crossing the Polish border with other refugees. We need to welcome these young scholars in Europe, now and unconditionally. Stop the non sense.

    I will never forget that my doctor in Ghana in the 1990s was a fabulous young man trained in Kiev and married to a Moldavian nurse. A fantastic doctor and surgeon. Thinking of them right now.

    Writing systems are not a must to organize a complex society. Orality has its own logics.

    A globular pot from the workshop of the beadmakers at Edun-Ide, excavated in July 2024 and analyzed today. This pot was probably used at some point to warm water as the inside is clean and the bottom has traces of fire. Also some pics of the workshop before and after excavations.
