Past beers and ways to archaeologically detect them: contribution by Alisa Scheibner and me to this yummy #bierinderantike volume edited by Kerstin Droß-Krüpe and @kai-ruffing.bsky.social 🍻

Brace yourself for Stefan Potente's talk! Blunt and sharp force are daily fare in contemporary forensics. Crossbows and sabres have mostly disappeared, but fresh bone injuries still raise questions — especially “fall or assault?” This Friday 16h in HS2 or get in touch for the Zoom link!

Huge congrats to our @barahuber.bsky.social and colleagues for their new book on the evidence for fragrance and smoke in archaeology! 💨Scents of Arabia 💨brings this invisible, long-lost aspect back to the surface for the first time: www.archaeopress.com/Archaeopress...

The term has started with a talk by James Fellows Yates on FAIR data in ArchaeoScience! Stay tuned - the next talk in our Debates in ArchaeoSciences series will be on December 5th!

A journey into the sensory world of ancient Arabia: incense, ritual, trade, memory & scent 🌿🔥🏺🧪 www.dainst.org/en/newsroom/...

A new academic year means new classes, new faces, and new Debates! You all are welcome to join us - come along in person Friday s at 4PM or get in touch for the Zoom link !

Happy to appear in this one together with Çiler Çilingiroğlu: www.nzz.ch/wissenschaft...

Making the impossible possible: @alicetoso.bsky.social wants to develop reliable methods for determining the concentration of steroid #hormones in centuries-old human bones. Another exciting pioneering project 👍 – we wish you every success!

First celebratory cake was a blueberry pound cake inspire by the @VWStiftung logo 🍰

🎉 Our own @alicetoso.bsky.social won a €1.4 million grant from @volkswagenstiftung.de! In this groundbreaking project, she’ll trace hormones in historically contextualized archaeological skeletons, shedding light on pregnancy, menopause and more across 200 years. www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/135-...

We just kicked off a citizen science project in @bocas-news.bsky.social where we’re teaming up with retired + active medical doctors to help interpret complex paleopathological cases while having fun. Our 1st session of the Ärtze-Konsil was great ✨🦴🧬 #citizenscience #paleopathology #bioarchaeology

ich freue mich auf morgen! veranstaltungskalender.urz.uni-heidelberg.de/veranstaltun...

We travel not for trafficking alone; By hotter winds our fiery hearts are fanned: For lust of knowing what should not be known, We take the Golden Road to Samarkand (J E Flecker) 🕌 Stop over with us and Shannon Monroe in Buchara for the last debates talk this semester - in HS2 or via Zoom!

8,000 years ago, two babies were buried at Çatalhöyük West. Excavated and analyzed during our excavations, their DNA links them to East Mound — now part of this amazing paper. Very, very happy to contribute & huge thanks to the teams involved! 🔗 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

What did people cook in Neolithic and Bronze Age pottery on the Atlantic coast? Martine Regert will present lipid results from dairy 🥛 to beeswax 🐝, but a surprising lack of seafood 🐟. Join us today at 4PM in HS2 or get in touch for the Zoom link!

Join us this Friday when Silvia Amicone shares her material science perspective on pottery production in Etruria between the end of the early Iron Age and the beginning of the Orientalising period: 4PM in HS2 or get in touch for the Zoom link!

Gestern war BoCAS beim wunderbaren #Stiftshoffest in #Nideggen: Ernährungsrekonstruktion anhand von Gefäßrückständen, stabilen Isotopen und Skeletten. Ein schöner Tag und interessante Gespräche mit Laien und Fachleuten - danke an das Team der LVR-Bodendenkmalpflege für die Einladung!

Reparieren, gemeinsam nutzen, weiterverwenden: Wir suchen Praxisbeispiele zum Thema "Forschungsgeräte #nachhaltig nutzen"! 👉 Die überzeugendsten Projekte können ihre Ideen beim Workshop (8./9.12.2025) gemeinsam mit anderen Teilnehmenden weiterentwickeln. 🗓️ Bewerbungsschluss: 12.6.2025 🌐 Infos:

Yamnaya = mobile? Probably — but what about their subsistene economy?Join us + Dr. Martin Riesenberg tomorrow at 4PM in HS 2 (or online) to see how sequential analysis on livestock teeth🦷🐄🐑🐐 help track mobility.

Das "Rheinische Ärzteblatt" berichtet in seiner aktuellen Ausgabe über unsere Arbeit! Dazu unsere herzliche Einladung an interessierte Ärztinnen und Ärzte in der Region, ehrenamtlich an einem Konsil zu unseren "archäologischen Patienten" mitzuwirken: show.epaper-archiv.de/aekno/ePaper...

A landmark success! The University of Bonn secured funding for all six existing Clusters of Excellence and both new initiatives – more than any other German university.

Congratulations to all BCDSS members!

New paper by Barbara Huber, member of BoCAS in Maxime Rageot's team!

Forensics and archaeology have a lot of methodological overlap. In our Debates this Friday, Patricia van der Burgt will introduce us to this emerging field. Join us in HS 2 at 16h or get in touch for the Zoom link!

www.uni-bonn.de/en/news/chil... @unibonn.bsky.social covering our last paper on childhood weaning and diet in Iberia 👇

Towards a genomic history of the Rhineland! In our first debates session, Laura Lacher shares new insights into Early Medieval DNA 🧬. This Friday 4PM, Römerstraße 164, or e-mail us for the Zoom link.

I contributed in a small way to this study – pleased to see it out now!

A new paper by Alice Toso approaches childrearing practices and women's agency in the past. Read more below 👇

This week we are in the lab with the 2nd cohort of our Grundlagen Archäologische Naturwissenschaften module. In a week-long block seminar students learn to extract collagen, interpret isotopes and basic notions in osteoarchaeology and skeletal anatomy. It's an intense 30hrs but I love it!

The summer term has started, so please mark your calendars for the Debates in ArchaeoSciences! Fridays at 4PM, HS 2 in Römerstraße 164 or get in touch for the Zoom link.

🤱🍲New research on weaning signals from sequential dentine sampling by Julía Olive Busom and colleagues - congrats! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

🍷 Depas-Gefäße und Wein: Eine alte Idee, bestätigt mit neuen Methoden. Glückwunsch an Maxime Rageot & Kolleg:innen aus Tübingen & Jena!
