An intense week for Kathrin in Aruba! It culminnated in the National "hymn and flag" day, that Kathrin used to engage with the public about our work in Aruba. Our Papiamento (the creole language of Aruba) colouring book (drive.google.com/drive/folder...) was the star of the kids' corner.

Last week, Eleni and Kathrin got to go on a very special trip filled with great encounters and experiences. We were welcomed by our collaborators at the National Trust of Trinidad and Tobago and brought our results, summarized in the English Trinidad version of our coloring book.

Really excited to share our new paper on the Early Iron Age mass grave at Gomolava (9th c. BCE), a study I had the pleasure to work on during my PhD with an amazing group of co-authors across multiple disciplines. Open access link: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵👇
