Hahaha - absolutely! While at @brparchaeology.bsky.social last week, a student told me about a (somewhat) defleshed sheep skeleton in the woods. Naturally, as a zooarch, I led a procession of 6 students to recover what I could and teach all about how bones articulate with the more fleshy bits!! πŸ‘

Yesterday, I helped to run the Historic England Professional Zooarchaeology Group session at York on fish remains in archaeology. The day included a dissection of a cod head, and so naturally as a zooarchaeologist, my uni room now has a bunch of fish bones in tubs and bags to properly clean them!

For my first post on here, I'm happy to announce I'll be presenting at @imc-leeds.bsky.social on 8th July, with a paper titled 'Uncovering Buried Memories: Memory, Power, Practicality, and the Situation of the Dead in the Early Saxon Landscape', stemming from my undergraduate dissertation.
