250 BC to 150 AD, the Xiongnu formed one of the earliest nomadic polities in Eastern Eurasia. Linked to the later Huns in Europe or not, their foodways were far more agricultural and diverse than assumed. Join us and @cmcarolus.bsky.social this Friday in HS2 — or get in touch for the Zoom link!

Brace yourself for Stefan Potente's talk! Blunt and sharp force are daily fare in contemporary forensics. Crossbows and sabres have mostly disappeared, but fresh bone injuries still raise questions — especially “fall or assault?” This Friday 16h in HS2 or get in touch for the Zoom link!

Gestern war BoCAS beim wunderbaren #Stiftshoffest in #Nideggen: Ernährungsrekonstruktion anhand von Gefäßrückständen, stabilen Isotopen und Skeletten. Ein schöner Tag und interessante Gespräche mit Laien und Fachleuten - danke an das Team der LVR-Bodendenkmalpflege für die Einladung!
