Hello, I’m Erika Rosengren, the Osteological Collections Curator at Lund University’s Historical Museum and a PhD candidate in Zooarchaeology. My research explores how the environment and Mesolithic people affected animal populations in Scandinavia, focusing on aurochs and European bison. Thank you!

I competed in the annual winter holiday dressage show and won with this cutie

Last week a researcher returned a large number of materials he had on loan for sampling. While I am going through and sorting them out it is quite the adventure trying to access my office…

I am a PhD student augmenting #zooarchaeology with #aDNA and #stableisotopes to answer outstanding questions about Scandinavian #aurochs and E. #bison history and their interactions with #Mesolithic people. This is me rummaging around the skull of a bison for a petrous bone.
