Mr Badger update! 🦡✨ Fresh from his Zooarch spa day, Mr Badger is clean, preened, and almost ready to join his forever home in our reference collection. His bones tell their own story, with fractured ribs and femur, injury from a car encounter. Next up: guinea pigs.. so stay tuned! 🐹

📸 New kit alert! 📸 Thanks to RICHeS funding, we have added a new Leica camera and 3D analysis software to our Bioarchaeology collections 🙌 Perfect for archaeobotany imaging 🌾 but also incredibly valuable for zooarchaeological research, particularly for exploring taphonomic factors.

Back to hands-on work after our move and reunited with a long-time freezer resident: Mr Badger 🦡 Once alive, now honoured for the contribution he’ll make to science. After a well-earned hot bath, Mr Badger will soon join our Zooarchaeology Research Collection. CW: images show a deceased animal

🐎 Excited to share a new project led by friend and colleague Maaike Groot at Freie Universität Berlin: “Management, supply and mobility of equids in the northwestern Roman Empire” (DFG-funded). The project explores how horses and mules supported the Roman army. Congratulations Maaike!!!
