So excited to share our accepted manuscript! It sets up a dicot phytolith baseline for NW Europe. Phytolith researchers working on reference materials know how time-consuming this type of work is 🥵, I hope it will be useful to many. Happy reading soon and feel free to reach out!

Last week,
@christophe-fire.bsky.social
was in Trento, to attend the MOLA workshop, part of Dr Giacomo Capuzzo's MSCA post-doc fellowship. The first exciting results were presented, which use multi-isotope analyses of inhumation & cremations in the Italian Alps from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age.

A lot has happened since then! We began the process of acquiring permits for sampling human remains by visiting the Museu de Mallorca (twice!) and the Museu de Menorca and Museu de Ciutadella.
