And that's it from me in York for another month. Next time I'll be here will be for the Theoretical Archaeology Group Annual Meeting where I'll be presenting my research on the colonial and patriarchal heritage value of #civetcoffee. See you in December! #TAG

This week I delivered several samples of pre-digested coffee beans to the lab for microbial, chemical and fatty acid testing. This will feed into the #Humancoffee project - an art-science problematization of #civetcoffee and #naturecommodification Watch this space! 👀
