🗣️ New paper! 🗣️

The mobility patterns of the population of Gallo-Roman Tienen (Belgium) are keeping you up at night? Wondering if there is more than mobility reflected in these 87Sr/86Sr results? This is very relatable, and conveniently, I have the right paper for you! It's accessible right there 👇

🎉 Thrilled to share our new paper just published in @PLOSONE!

In this study we explored how weather & seasonality impact cremation conditions using experimental archaeology, FTIR-ATR, and isotope analysis.

Reconstructing prehistoric lifeways using multi-Isotope analyses of human enamel, dentine, and bone from Legaire Sur, Spain Megalithism has been repetitively tied to specialised herding economies in Iberia, particularly in the mountainous areas of the Basque Country. Legaire Sur, in the uplands of Álava region, is a recent...

Today my new paper was published in Plos One. High-resolution Neolithic life history reconstructions using Incremental dentine, bone collagen, and multi-enamel sampling! I'm really pleased with this one

Thank you so much!

This weekend is the Wetenschapsfestival Brussel 2024, and we are doing a (temporary) tattoo parlour for children with Archaeology & Cosmo-Geochemistry designs - coming two of the many disciplines in our department. if you're in Brussels, the event is free, the tattoos are also free!

Please could i also be added! still setting up my account haha :)
