On November 18 (15:30-17:00 CET), I’m hosting a hybrid seminar on the relevance of funerary archaeology for thinking and talking about death in the present. With Barbara Veselka (@osteolady.bsky.social) and Karina Croucher (@karinaktc.bsky.social). Register here: forms.gle/E9DRsmvbj5QE...

🗣️ New paper! 🗣️ The mobility patterns of the population of Gallo-Roman Tienen (Belgium) are keeping you up at night? Wondering if there is more than mobility reflected in these 87Sr/86Sr results? This is very relatable, and conveniently, I have the right paper for you! It's accessible right there 👇

📣 Data, data, data 📣 The BBLAB crew spent the day compiling our isotope data in the @isoarch.bsky.social version 3.0 database! Thanks @isotopistrachel.bsky.social & @tloeffelmann.bsky.social for teaching us the ropes 🧗🏻‍♀️ #openaccessdata #archaeology #fairandcare
