Thank you @babao2025meeting.bsky.social for a great conference! Thoroughly enjoyed all the fascinating presentations, the great discussions, and the chance to present my poster on a few case studies from my PhD research 🦴✨
Maria stands next to her poster entitled Deciphering Disability Narratives in the 3rd to 4th Century Roman Irchester: Looking Past Mobility Impairments. The poster has a purple colour scheme and features two censored images of skeletal elements, and a drawn figure of a classical statue containing the thoracic skeleton of a young woman.

Had a lovely day at the UCD Archaeology PhD Research day today!
A great chance for all of us to talk through some thoughts from our work so far, and an excuse to show off my romano-british bestie

(the hand turkeys on the chalkboard were paid actors)
Maria stands off the the side of a pull down screen. The screen shows a slide from her presentation, showing a cartoon woman with a walking stick, an image from a greek vase, and two images of medicinal plants. Maria is standing in front of a chalkboard (which sits behind the pull-down screen) on which two hand turkeys have been drawn. a close-up of the cartoon woman with a cane from the previous image. A speech bubble to her right reads "salve!" - or hello in Latin.

What's up bluesky! I think it's about time for an introduction: I'm María, a PhD student in bioarchaeology 🦴🔍 studying the lived experiences and perceptions of disability in Roman Britain 🧑‍🦽🏺
Stick around to witness my descent into writing madness !
Maria and Jill standing by a plastic hanging skeleton, and behind a sign advertising an osteology drop-in session at Chester House Estate's Roman Fest event. Maria giving a presentation titled Deciphering Disability Narratives in Roman Britain at UCD. Maria standing in front of a digital poster titled "Detecting Disability: An Interdisciplinary Osteoarchaeological Pilot Study Applying the Index of Care to a Romano-British Population". She is wearing a lanyard that denotes she is at the EAA conference. Behind the screen and her is a marble relief depicting what look like humans and horses
