Very happy that my article "The uncertain death. Estimating mortality structure by random sampling" has been published in the latest issue of the International Journal of Osteoarchaeology 😊

Happy New Year! 🥳🎇🎉🎊🍾

Very fascinated by the rare occurrence of hair ice I had the pleasure to enjoy today in our woods. It occurs when a log is infested with a specific fungus at a bit below freezing point, as the gas produced by the fungus change the crystallisation properties of water

Btw. I'm looking for a PhD student in zooarchaeology with an interest in stable isotopes.

Winter reading, and it came with a seed paper! Robin Wall Kimmerer’s beautiful new book The Serviceberry. “Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity rather than accumulation, where wealth and security come from the quality of our relationships…”

We're already there: www.fastcompany.com/90976171/ove...

After the amazing paper by @kevinhatala.bsky.social & colleagues on locomotor variation in early #hominins, an exciting new study led by George Brill on forms of locomotion in #foragers
'Extensive locomotor versatility across a global sample of hunter–gatherer societies'

Hi there! Physical anthropologist and archaeologist here.
I have fun looking at messy data and trying to make heads or tails of it.
