Check out this thread by our own Dr. Jen Jones & collaborators who have been exploring cave bear diet, what it might tell us about the extinction of the species, & how we can use this knowledge to support threatened bear species today! See her article here: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Archaeology: actually quite entertaining for the younger set ;)

Excellent job to organisers Allie Stewart and Jen Jones on yesterday’s NWDTP funded Science & Sociology of Children and Childhood conference yesterday. Super well done to all the PhD students who presented!

Bet you don’t think this is very useful right? A bone like this, it probably doesn't even preserve well. And what could we possibly use it for? Wait! Just before you judge it just hear this bone out and stay here for a little. Please note that these are images of plastic skeleton casts. 1/4

Our Bone Bootcamp lab placement students are hosting a social media takeover! Today they have been learning about the Skull! Stay tuned for some of their content....

And bringing the #zooarchaeology to #archaeology is PhD student Sarah Ruth Hunt presenting thought-provoking work on ritual animal deposition in some very cool caves for the @uclan.ac.uk Post-Graduate Research Conference 🦭🦭🦭

Well done all of our #LancSciFest visitors for the ‘Potted prehistory’ workshop! As our students can attest, we’ve got a very hands on approach to the Neolithic here ;)
