Today's #LifelongLearning workshop @UCPH_Archaeoloogy exploring how our research can benefit wider society. As palaeoproteomics specialists, we're discussing how our analytical approaches could serve professionals beyond academia. #Archaeology #ContinuingEducation

We’re gathered here today for a day about textile analyses and I’ll say a thing or two about 🐑🐐🧶

🏺 Free Workshop: Archaeological Textiles & Skins Analysis Copenhagen, March 13-14, 2025! Join leading experts for hands-on training in cutting-edge analytical techniques at the Centre for Textile Research (UCPH). Features lab visits to SMK & CTR, practical demonstrations with study collections.

Congratulations to Rune Iversen and colleagues on the publication of their new paper on the so-called sun stones from the Danish island of Bornholm and how these sun stones may be related to Neolithic volcanism.

NEW Aerial photograph of a monumental farmhouse from ~2000 BC Vinge, Denmark. Analysis suggests they were built for the storage of livestock, cereals and winter fodder, suggesting a farmer elite held great power in Late Neolithic southern Scandinavia. 🆓 buff.ly/3OMRgMw

So far, the earliest evidence of falconry in Sweden is goshawk bones from a late 6th century monumental burial mound at Gamla Uppsala. Stock dove wings probably used for training were found nearby in the village with bones of capercaillie, a prey species. (see e.g. Vretemark 2018) #archaeobirds 🏺🪶

In 2005, Scott Fitzpatrick and I started as founding coeditors of the Journal of Island & Coastal Archaeology. In 2025, under Scott’s continued leadership, JICA will publish its 20th volume! Still going strong, with more than 8,000 pages on our deep entanglement with island & coastal ecosystems.

In this comment piece with James Fellows Yates and Christina Warinner (@christinawarinner.bsky.social), we highlight the mounting problems with data archiving and metadata reporting in ancient DNA research. The field cannot afford to keep neglecting this issue. www.nature.com/articles/d41...
