A laptop, mouse and a water bottle on a garden table. Behind it you can see a hilly landscape full of grass, herbs and trees. The sun is shining.
Ready to give this ‘out of office writing’ a try. So far not the worst view I’ve ever been subjected to!

The annual research celebration day at @auarcher.bsky.social is tomorrow and my poster is based on our JAS Reports paper, published earlier this year. Feel free to download the paper (open access) or take a peek at the poster 🔎

Why did Palaeolithic artists decide to produce art on the same walls that someone else had decorated? Do rock art palimpsests reflect dialogues that occurred across tens-of-thousands of years? My new OA paper develops a conceptual framework to explore these dimensions! 👇🏺

Spending the week in beautiful Stavanger thinking about research design in environmental archaeology ❤️
Travelling alone is terrifying, but Norway is gorgeous!
Here featured is one of my favourite for fun “plant blindness” tests. Why did I bring a picture of a tiger to a plant talk!

You can say a lot of good things about my office, but who even knew that the BEST of them is having a Common Kestrel and her chicks as my neighbours! Surely I am smarter when empowered by bird song ❤️

Next project is also all about plants. Come to Moesgaard next week if you want to support a student run association and would like to hear me wax poetic about archaeobotany!

He called me 1.5 years later and said that they tried asking some women and it turned out that it was pretty painful!
