🗣️ 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 👇

Our bioavailable strontium baseline for Corsica is out! ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ranges from 0.7075 to 0.7169 and was established from 245 plant & soil leachate samples from 125 sites.

Phytoliths in dicotyledons occurring in Northwest Europe: establishing a baseline AbstractBackground and Aims. The absence of a modern plant-based ‘dicotyledon’ phytolith reference baseline impedes the accurate interpretation of fossil p

🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
(1/5) Excited to share that our latest paper on dicotyledon phytoliths in NW Europe can now be found here! 🌱🔬 This study fills a gap by documenting and analyzing phytoliths from 74 dicot species.

This multiproxy analysis of the large Tilburg-Udenhoutseweg urnfield uncovered social networks! Local mobility and preferential land use was seen and nonadults & women were enjoying different diets than men! 🔥🦴🌿🍖

BBLAB has so much to celebrate! 🎉 @christophe-fire.bsky.social's 10-year milestone at VUB and his recent PhD Supervisor Prize, plus the arrival of new members set the stage for an exciting 2025. Here’s to a year filled with research, isotopes and collaboration!

Welcoming our newest postdoc Dr Danaé Guiserix with a morning of mass spec training!

Time & Space! At this years Wetenschapfestival Brussel, our @amgc-vub.bsky.social team presented themes of both archaeology and cosmo chemistry under one roof, presenting samples, creating art, and giving out free (temporary) tattoos 🦷🦴🔥☄️🌘🪨🚀

Well done to the whole team!

This week in the AMGC lab, @fienjo.bsky.social is searching for micrometeorites from sediment samples, Inigo is sampling ostrich eggs for clumped isotope analysis and Titouan is preparing geothermal granite samples for elemental analysis 🧪☄️🪨🥚

In exciting Monday morning news, the BB-Lab have arrived to bluesky! 🦷🧪🏺🦴
