Dream team! It is a pleasure to work with you all! Each of us has a piece of ICArEHB in us. That is what makes us unique!

And in southern Europe it is the opposite, raining non stop for weeks and not seeing the light of the sun! World upside down!

A couple of weeks ago, I participated in the LEXA seminars, presenting the results of the experiments carried out with my lovely colleagues from @pacea.bsky.social & @iphes-cerca.bsky.social . Thank you @tomosproffitt.bsky.social for the invitation! #smallprey #avianremains #experimentalarchaeology

Today, I have had the privilege to be a member of the jury at the PhD defence of Cristian Micó, from @urv.cat @iphes-cerca.bsky.social. His thesis is proof of his dedication and the hard work done. It also shows the potential of works on teeth taphonomy. I wish him the best success for the future.
