🗣️ 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

Join us in Belgium! Two PhD and two postdocs are available on the LOCO project. Its a great opportunity to work with a large interdisciplinary team examining the mobility of people, materials and ideas 💡
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 😀

So excited to share our accepted manuscript! It sets up a dicot phytolith baseline for NW Europe.
Phytolith researchers working on reference materials know how time-consuming this type of work is 🥵, I hope it will be useful to many.
Happy reading soon and feel free to reach out!
