Another round of quince-processing. 10 pots of quince/compote. At least 7 kilos to go. Any favourite recipes out there?

Batch #2: Five quinces became 7 pots of chutney.

Begin september hebben archeologen van de Rijksdienst voor het Cultureel Erfgoed (#RCE) en archeologen en studenten #archeologie van de Universiteit #Leiden het Romeinse #marskamp van #Leuvenum (Ermelo) onderzocht. /1 www.cultureelerfgoed.nl/actueel/nieu...

Our quince tree has a bumper crop of > 40, weighing some 400 gr. each. Now making jelly of the first batch.

New paper alert! I demonstrate that C,N stable isotope values in food chains differ between different types of (wetland and dryland) landscapes. This hampers their potential for archaeological diet reconstruction. #isotopes #diet 1/2 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Today I was at the Zeewolde excavation of an early 16th century so-called watership. Sampling a layer with fish bones that appeared when the ships planks were removed with archaeozoology colleague Inge van der Jagt. We want to find out how this layer was formed.

Zaterdag 2 augustus kunnen belangstellenden tussen 11.00 en 15.00 uur voor de laatste keer een bezoek brengen aan de #opgraving van een 16e-eeuws #waterschip in #Zeewolde (foto: Museum Batavialand). veluwefm.nl/laatste-publ...

At a Roman cult site in the Netherlands, two horse bones that had been filled with lead were found — an enigmatic discovery! Have you ever come across anything similar? I’d love to hear from you. #zooarchaeology #archaeology www.wbrg.net/bonetool-of-...

Neanderthalers kookten op grote schaal botten uit om het vet eruit te verzamelen en op te eten. Dat blijkt uit onderzoek van een team van archeologen, onder leiding van Lutz Kindler (Johannes Gutenberg-Universität Mainz) en Wil Roebroeks (Universiteit Leiden).

Hyvemind: #Roman #glass pre-Flavian military context. 2 thin pieces of blue green glass, white layer on the inside, 1 fragment with 3 thin black lines drawn between the inner and the outer layer. Anyone seen this before? #archaeology #Romans #history #smallfinds

Hele mooie #vacature bij #Saxion: opleidingsmanager bij de grootste en leukste bachelor opleiding #archeologie Reageer uiterlijk 5 mei www.saxion.nl/over-saxion/...

De toonaangevende afdeling aardwetenschappen aan de Vrije Universiteit dreigt te verdwijnen. 'Dit is buitenproportioneel en onverstandig', zeggen ook buitenstaanders, maar de universiteit lijkt onvermurwbaar. Voor @volkskrant.nl ging ik langs bij de afdeling, waar onbegrip en verdriet overheersen:

First announcement: April 2024 we organize in Groningen an international conference on Transformations during the Mesolithic and Neolithic. More info and webaddress on flyer/poster. Please share! #mesolithic #neolithic

New paper on the application of #luminescence dating techniques to improve chronologies of archaeological earthworks. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Ergens ook wel logisch. Waarom zou je in deze tijd immers mensen opleiden die iets begrijpen van grondstoffen, drinkwater, bodemdaling, zeespiegelstijging, klimaatverandering, aardwarmte, aardbevingen (door) gaswinning of rivierdynamiek? (Om maar eens wat te noemen.) @vuamsterdam.bsky.social

The LOCO project is looking for 2 PhDs and 2 Post-docs in (bio-)archaeology, history, geochemistry, and digital humanities. This joint project between VUB, KUL, and UGent looks at the mobility of people, materials, and ideas in the Low Countries. Apply before 30 April 2025 😀

We are currently advertising two PhD's as part of @subnordica.bsky.social. Both PhD's will be based at @bradarch.bsky.social Details below: 1. AI and Behavioural Modelling www.findaphd.com/phds/project... 2. Comparative Studies of Flevoland www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Great new aDNA results! Mixing of Anatolian and Western Hunter-gatherer lineages in the Dutch river area during Early and Middel Neolithic..

Here we present an early Holocene sea-level curve based on 88 sea-level data points (13.7–6.2 thousand years ago (ka)) from the North Sea (Doggerland3,4) ...

Ancient peat reveals that sea level surged rapidly twice at the end of the last ice age www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Well hello, look what I found in my thin section!

We found that during the Neolithic, pig management in Europe was highly variable. By integrating paleogenomics and zooarchaeology, we uncovered a commensal relationship between humans, pigs and wild boar at the Early Neolithic settlement of Swifterbant

Today, UG staff members strike in protest against the cuts to higher education. Staff members will put their work on hold to draw attention to the disastrous consequences. The Board supports the message; they will wear red squares as a sign of protest. Will you join? 🟥 www.rug.nl/about-ug/lat...

How did Europe's first farmers interact with their pigs and local wild boar? @jolijnerven.bsky.social has a new paper addressing just that using 11 ancient suis genomes! www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

The carnival parade in Esbeek had a group celebrating the recently published research on their Neanderthal site. They won the first prize. #palaeolithic #archaeology

Short reply to comments on our micromorphological study of (burned) ant nests and how Mesolithic hearth pits are different.

'Multiple Dutch universities have announced reorganisations that are likely to involve layoffs, in the wake of drastic government budget cuts that will amount to about €500 million (£414 million) a year across higher education and research.' 1/2
