Congrats @sarahbarakat.bsky.social, we're proud of you!

Amazing to be part of this! Never had an archaeological emergancy before - truly a once in a lifetime site! www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

We are delighted to be hosting the 46th Association for Environmental Archaeology Conference between the 7th to the 9th May 2026 at the University of Lancashire. See the website for further information and the link for the abstract submission! @jimbonesmorris.bsky.social envarch.net/conferences

Spotting her first MALDI plate! Thanks to @archaeoprotein.bsky.social for offering this wonderful training opportunity to @sarahbarakat.bsky.social and helping us further develop our ZooMS capacity in Aberdeen @uoa-archaeology.bsky.social - and for running our first PALaEoScot samples with us!

Great coverage of the Edinburgh’s First Burghers exhibition in the Scotsman - it has been brilliant to see this HES-funded work go from the lab to exhibition! @orshicz.bsky.social @boothicus.bsky.social www.scotsman.com/heritage-and...

Wonderful to be here at the opening of the Edinburgh’s first burgher’s exhibition. Part of the Edinburgh 900 celebrations, the exhibition runs until November at St Giles’ Cathedral and features DNA, facial reconstructions and our isotopic insights! @orshicz.bsky.social - this time with pictures!

Today our students in the MSc Cultural Heritage took their spring project ‘Filth and Fury in 19th c Aberdeen’ on the road. Michael Cairns from Celsius Plumbing gave a tour of Edinburgh’s smelly history - from murky reservoirs, wooden drainage pipes, public wells and Victorian innovations.

Come join us! PALaEoScot is now offering a fully-funded PhD to work on ZooMS and sedaDNA studies at Scottish Late Glacial and Early Holocene sites. Closing 13/4/25. www.findaphd.com/phds/project... 🦌 🐴 🦣 🦬 🦊 🐺 (please note, full funding only available for U.K. domiciled candidates only).

I am so proud to have worked on this study alongside such brilliant people! We might just be scratching the surface here, but the future sure looks interesting in archaeometabolomics!

Come join us at @uofearch.bsky.social in the Biocultural HIVE, part of our AHRC RICHeS award! Application deadline 5 January 2025.

Btw. I'm looking for a PhD student in zooarchaeology with an interest in stable isotopes. www.arup.cas.cz/vyberove-riz...

Read about our fishy bears from the Assynt bone caves that roamed north-west Scotland 40,000 years ago - we aren’t sure if they are polar bears yet, but luckily the press are 😅 www.scotsman.com/heritage-and...
