After my last long shot request, I've another one πŸ˜†
Along with #zooarchaeology (esp microfauna), my time processing and sorting soil samples in a previous job got me somewhat interested in #malacology. Does anyone have any recommendations for molluscs (land or marine)?
TIA!

Yeah, I couldn't see anything on Sheffield or York, which is very annoying as they're the only/main 2 I can find who offer(ed) zooarch short courses

Annoyingly, can't seem to get to my DMs. Something about phone permissions!

A bit of a long shot, but does anyone know of any good (short) courses and/or reference books in/for zooarchaeology? I've had an interest in zooarch (esp microfauna) for a while, but have limited specialist knowledge/hands on experience to take it any further! TIA 😊

Long shot but I'm interested at potentially going down the organics/textile conservation route. Any reading material/courses/talks recommendations on (production/preservation/conservation of) organics/textiles in archaeology? TIA!

Someone recently commented on our wide open skies- it was certainly the case on a short walk on a slightly gloomy Sunday!

As someone into medieval archaeology/history/buildings, I really should sign up to the Society of Medieval Archaeology! Their conference this year looks like it has a couple of interesting talks!

Not quite a crest of gorse- more of an avenue of gorse on a golf course!

I'm not a zooarch specialist (I can dream!), but I'm interested in it due to aw years of processing enviro samples and finding the small animal bones (micro-fauna?) in sample residues. If only I realised my zooarch interest whilst at uni...

As it's #WorldBookDay, I thought I'd share the (mainly #history + #archaeology) books I'm trying to work my way through.

They generally fall into these 3 categories (in picture order):

- work-related CPD #environmental #archaeology + #zooarchaeology textbooks
- casual reading
- waiting to be read

When I go to Georgia, I'm more at home with the flat Colchian plain and than Caucasus mountain ranges!

The subject of what classifies a hill used to be a source of debate with a West Country friend of mine...

I think this is the sole photogenic photo I've got, courtesy of a Christmas walk between villages a few years back, and I promise I'm on a hill!

Weekend courses are great. I'll keep an eye out!

I kept meaning to do one but I'm prone to faffing and kept putting it off with the excuse of travelling from either Hampshire or Suffolk. I'm somewhat regretting it now!

Long shot here on bsky, but can anyone recommend any short courses that does any hands-on/practical #zooarch / #geoarch / #enviroarch training? Any reading recommendations would also be appreciated!
