Our very own Prof Maureen Carroll gave a fabulous lecture on the Etruscan Lady in York for the Society of Antiquaries last week. In the lecture, Maureen traces the fascinating history of a single object - what it is, where it came from, how it got to York and more!

What a fantastic day yesterday was! Such a rich set of data and perspectives on kinship. I learnt so much. Huge thanks to everyone who made it happen. Also good showing from @uoyarchaeology.bsky.social with my paper, and Sophie Charleton speaking later on about the curious site of Banbury lane.
Now the fantastic @pennybickle.bsky.social is taking us through kinship and aDNA in the LBK cultural world, teasing out some key questions posed by ethnographic concepts of kinship that might be answered through the archaeological record #NSGKinship
