Hello! I just wanted to let you know that I just sent the final version of my MRes thesis to the grad school!

I *officially* finished my MRes in Archaeology!

Next step, waiting to know if I've secured funding for a PhD with #SGSAH!

"Roman writers found the relative empowerment of Celtic women remarkable." Wonderful start to a new #ancientDNA paper out today about the communities of Iron Age Britain in an increasingly connected and mobile world. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

2025 is already generous in surprises!

Jan 1st: Impressive northern lights (see my previous post)
Jan 2nd: Snow ❄️ (Orkney rarely gets snow)

Can't wait to see what else 2025 has in store for us! 😁

Amazingly grateful to start the year with such an amazing sky and light display visible from Kirkwall, Orkney!

What an amazing way to start the year 😁 Happy New Year to everyone 🎉 May 2025 be a year of exciting discoveries, health, love and joy!

I'm so sad that John Barrett has died. It was he who wanted me in Sheffield and for that, I will forever be grateful. His contribution to archaeology has been huge but it's the man who I like to remember - to me, he was invariably supportive, nice, & friendly. Thank you, John. I'll miss you badly.

It's Viva day! @uhiarchaeology.bsky.social

Dr. Jennifer Harland and Dr. Jacqui Mulville are my examiner for my MRes 😁

If archaeology was radio, the Tollund Man would be Radio Classic.

One of the best preserved natural mummies in the world, the Tollund Man died around 405–384 BC during the pre-Roman Iron Age. His body was buried under 2 m of peat and arranged in the fetal position.

Wanted to share with you my favourite picture i took of the Northern lights recently.

It never gets boring and i'm always amazed!

There’s something extraordinary about this otherwise pretty standard Late Bronze Age axehead:

A human fingerprint. A real, visible and tangible connection to someone from 3000 years ago. If that doesn’t give you goosebumps, idk what will. 🥹

Hello 👋 I'm still at a very early stage of my career but here's my little introduction. I'm a French Canadian (Québec) that moved to Scotland for my career. I submitted my MRes in Zooarchaeology at UHI and working on a future PhD. Poutine and maple syrup enthusiast + writing a novel in my pastime 🌞

Submitted my MRes on October 1st at the Archaeological Institute (UHI Orkney). Being able to physically hold my work just makes it so much better, proud moment! Now preparing for the Viva! #Research #Zooarchaeology #Master #Orkney #Archaeology #IronAge

*Repost from X, because I'm proud of myself 😌

Hi @adammarkham.bsky.social , would it be possible to be added to the zooarchaeology starter pack please? Much appreciated thank you 🌞
