Feeling a bit like my badge 🥵 after the #EAA2024, but it has been great to see friends and colleagues coming from all over the world 🌍 I hope conference fees will decrease next year so we can still have an inclusive place to meet and share ideas... See you in Belgrade 🤞!

From #Almeria with ❤️! Presented our collaboration with @prinmaugr to study the ceramics from Bayra, a Nasrid town conquered by the Catholic Crown in the late 15th century and that faced a massive earthquake in 1518 that forced its people to move from the hilltop to the plain 🏚️

Not having posted for long as balancing research and teaching has been hard! But today I found a good reason for going to teach statistics at 8: see how Gaudí mastered to have a perfect sunshine light on the Sagrada's facade! #Barcelona #academia #notamorningperson #researcher

What impinges on production? What creates a manufacturing standard and how is a standard followed, transmitted and transformed across time and space? Are these the basis of #massproduction? Discuss with us at our session at the #EAA2023 in #Belfast @archaeologyEAA
