Very interesting talk from @pennybickle.bsky.social about LBK burial practices in Neolithic Central Europe. Especially interested by the development of ‘bounded’ cemeteries from settlement burials, and the variation between them!

Surface scans capture rotator cuff volume across hominoids; origin areas predict muscle size, paving the way for improved reconstructions. van Beesel, Melillo, and Vereecke's latest publication is now available in @journalofanatomy.bsky.social
