I am very happy to share that my first (but hopefully not last) SKALK Junior article is out. The article is the work of me and @felixthehauskat.bsky.social concerning play objects in Greenland during the Little Ice Age 👏🏻 The article is based on part of my PhD work: lnkd.in/ddu5dejs

Just because the last session has wrapped, it doesn’t mean that #SSCIP2025 is over. We still have a workshop on isotopes led by Julia Beaumont and Corinne Feuillatre

I godt 400 år levede inuitterne og nordboerne samtidigt i Grønland, inden nordboerne pludselig forsvandt. Nyt studie kommer med opsigtsvækkende teori om hvorfor.
