The Archaeology of...Cave Bears podcast out today! Also available on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about why you shouldn't cuddle a cave bear, what they ate, and why they might have become extinct.

This made me chuckle! Excellent work Flint!

Congratulations to Dr Sarah Barakat who passed her PhD viva today! Sarah’s doctoral research has made a major contribution to our understanding of the use of sulfur isotopes in tracking range use in Late Pleistocene fauna. Well done Sarah! (And here’s the obligatory theme cake…)

Sometimes, with colleagues, I dabble in Forensic taphonomy, and this is one of this occasions! This article explores how damage and fractures on bones influences the physiochemical composition of bone over time, which may impact in PMI estimation!

Not to mention three fantastic keynote speakers!

It is a pleasure to welcome Mónica to work with me at the University as a Marie Curie Research Fellow. We had a lot of fun working with the reference collection in advance of Mónica's first sampling mission!

Makes the point that culture ("taste" if you like) may be just as important as economic considerations www.mdpi.com/2571-550X/8/...

Mislabelled Chatgpt anatomical images are my new favourite thing.
Do you know your Pelvix from your Pelmis and how to differentiate between your Tarpula and your Fibuir?
I really enjoyed reading this paper exploring the possibility that elevated d15N values may be linked to the consumption of meat that was rotten and maggot filled! Definitely lots more work to do as the authors point out, but an interesting idea!

Poor little cat, it sounds like she should pick up soon with the antibiotics and painkillers, and I am sure that she will be roaming around in no time!

Great coverage of our Cave Bear paper on Olde News with @flintdibble.bsky.social (from 11.47 onwards). A brilliant summary of the key findings and the rest of the show is well worth a watch too, some great explorations of interesting archaeological findings!

A very useful paper here here exploring Sulfur cycling in Weltand locations, which is important for Archaeologists interpreting d34S values in their research.
Spoiler Alert: it's quite complex!
Our new paper explores how we can use large bodies of stable isotope data from paleoenvironmental and bioarchaeological in wider cross-discipline studies.
