🗣️ 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 👇

Our bioavailable strontium baseline for Corsica is out! ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ranges from 0.7075 to 0.7169 and was established from 245 plant & soil leachate samples from 125 sites.

Check out the article here lnkd.in/e6pDJFCY
and the dataset can be downloaded from the IsoArcH database here lnkd.in/eFNS5Xbw

🎉 Thrilled to share our new paper just published in @PLOSONE!

In this study we explored how weather & seasonality impact cremation conditions using experimental archaeology, FTIR-ATR, and isotope analysis.

📣 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 🧗🏻‍♀️

📢 New paper alert! 📢

I’m really happy to share our latest publication in AJBA! We explore how sampling cremated petrous parts & teeth helps reconstruct life histories and cremation practices 🔥. You can find our paper through this link: doi.org/10.1002/ajpa... (1/6)
Reconstructing Life Histories: New Insights Into Cremation Practices, Mobility, and Food Consumption Patterns Through Isotope and Infrared Analyses of Petrous Parts and Teeth

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 😀

📞 Ypres calling! Special delivery📦🚚

Barbara, Martijn, and Charlotte visited the BAAC depot last Friday and collected the first batch of skeletons from the Sint-Maarten parish in Ypres🦴

But who were these medieval city-dwellers, and where did they come from..?🧪💀

Like for part 2?🤔
