Thanks, Helen! Let me know what you think - one of your recent papers was really helpful while we were contexualizing! 🥰

During the pandemic I supervised my 1st @mountroyalu.bsky.social bioanth Honours student.

I'm proud to say the second paper based on this work was published in the AJBA!

This research answered a question I've had for a while - I hope it's also useful to others!

I had the chance to talk to the lovely Gaby, the @anthrobiology.bsky.social Podcast a few weeks ago!

Take a listen (see Spotify open.spotify.com/episode/4CW7... or the apple podcast link in the main post).

A lot of people will tell you we're a Roman Palace.

We are in fact a moon-sized super-weapon capable of destroying a planet.

(Better with sound).

Today's port from the old place to this lovely app is a thread 🧵 about my favorite ancient pet! The Yasmina Dog 🐕

The scientific zooarchaeology study was made by Michael MacKinnon & Kyle Belanger

This story about this cute lil' dog is a sad one, with a (sort of) happy ending

New Publication Alert!
@dentalbioarch.bsky.social & I sent replica skeletons home with #osteology students then tested them to evaluate skills they obtained remotely vs. in person (compared to experts)
Spoiler: home access to replicas supports student learning, but fragments & methods are still hard

Ha! No way. Also, how do you remember that?!

I just bought this on vinyl in (fake) London a few weeks ago 😍 so good.

Hi all! Obligatory first introduction post! I'm a bioarchaeologist & palaeopathologist interested in the Roman world (but expect future posts to also feature bunnies and knitting)!
