Stéphanie Bodin 🌿🪵🔥🔬

Can't stop crying tonight. I feel like a failure, a wreck. I'm getting more and more certain taht i won't see my 40s. My life will end when Lilu will cross the rainbow bridge.

Thank you so much 🥺

I'm in a very dark place, again. Heavily depressed, suicidal ideas. Hopeless. Exhausted.

🥳It's here! The latest PAGES Magazine on "Early Human Traces: Landscape Openness Proxies Across Space and Time" is available to read online! 👣
Happy reading!

Thanks to the editors of this special issue for giving me the opportunity tu contribute! ☀️ 5/5

This short article doesn't present new results, it uses these 2 case studies as examples. If interested, you can find more details in the original publications! 🤓 4/5

Unfortunately, he was busy on the field ⛏🤠and couldn't co-write the article with me (first time I'm the only author, feels weird smh😅) 3/5

I present 2 case studies from Ethiopia 🇪🇹
The 1st about the sites that I studied in the SW Highlands, and the 2nd about the sites studied by Abel Ruiz-Giralt @archaeorg.bsky.social in Tigray 2/5

I contributed to the special issue of PAGES magazine, "Early Human Traces: Landscape Openness Proxies Across Space and Time," with a short article on the identification of charcoal from archaeological sites to detect human-induced vegetation openings 🪵🔥🌳🌴🌿 1/5

This was #ECTE2025 !!!
Thanks to all participants for making this an amazing experience 😌
Thanks to Jelle Kraak for taking the photos (@kraakkiekjes)

I read that with a knot in the stomach. I'm just a postdoc, an ECR, but I support scientists at risk, in the US and everywhere.

Crystal McMichael and Will Gosling closing the conference

So let's meet next year in Passau, Germany! (Hopefully I'll have a new position somewhere by this time🤞)
Thanks for a great conference here in Amsterdam! 🙌🙌
I liked the pinapple 🍍 handover, that was funny 🤣
#ECTE2025

Alexa Höhn talking about shea parklands in West Africa, and since when their presence is attested! Shout out to charcoal people! 🪵🔥😁 #ECTE2025 SESSION6

Julie Aleman opens the fire session with a talk about fire reconstruction in Tanzania #ECTE2025 🔥 session18

Carina Hoorn talking about Miocene mangroves in the Amazon basin 🤩#ECTE2025 SESSION1

The nice thing about being in a session that is quite different from what you're used to is that you learn a lot of things about stuff you're totally ignorant about! As a charcoal person, I enjoyed the talks on snails transmitting parasites and on fish from the Amazon basin 😁 #ECTE2025 SESSION1

José Iriarte in front of his last slide saying "Muchas gracias" showing a photo of the tropical forest

Nina Witteveen on the left, behind her his her title slide saying "Long term forest recovery in Suriname", with an artwork by herself showing habitations on the coast, a forest behind, birds and a jaguar

#ECTE2025 The first 2 keynotes by José Iriarte and Nina Witteveen were absolutely great, they were talking about the ecological legacy and the impact past populations had on the vegetation in the Amazon basin and the Guiana Shield (Suriname in particular). 🌾🌿🌴🔥🌽🍌🏺🌎

(Currently hiding in my room as I get anxious in crowded spaces😅 giving talks is always a challenge for me!)

Me holding the little sign around my neck with my name and my affiliation on it

So happy to be in Amsterdam for the #ECTE2025 !! I will give a talk tomorrow in Session 1 about the palaeoenvironmental reconstruction of the coast of French Guiana during the Late Pleistocene 🌴🌿🌎🌊 be prepared to hear about charcoal, pollen and phytoliths!

Happy #FossilFriday!

I don't know 🤔 but of you did it anonymously (not logged with your google account if you have one), I don't think we can do it. Besides, in my opinion you still fit in the archaeobotanist definition, when studying plant remains from archaeological sites🤗

Oupsie! Will check that out asap

Comme les bougainvilliers! 🤓
