In other news I'm thinking of setting up a NW based balloon arch company.

Congratulations to Dr Sarah Barakat who passed her PhD viva today! Sarah’s doctoral research has made a major contribution to our understanding of the use of sulfur isotopes in tracking range use in Late Pleistocene fauna. Well done Sarah! (And here’s the obligatory theme cake…)

Physicochemical changes to surface deposited decomposing bone over different timescales: Investigating the influence of bone fractures and the use of non-destructive analytical techniques Considerations on the drivers of bone diagenesis have received a lot of attention, yet there is still more to understand, particularly in relation to …

Sometimes, with colleagues, I dabble in Forensic taphonomy, and this is one of this occasions! This article explores how damage and fractures on bones influences the physiochemical composition of bone over time, which may impact in PMI estimation!

A lovely review article (and my first dissertation citation🍾) on Scottish archaeological mollusc exploitation from @jenniferbones.bsky.social & @mlaw.bsky.social. Makes the point that culture ("taste" if you like) may be just as important as economic considerations www.mdpi.com/2571-550X/8/...

Mislabelled Chatgpt anatomical images are my new favourite thing.

Do you know your Pelvix from your Pelmis and how to differentiate between your Tarpula and your Fibuir?

Neanderthals, hypercarnivores, and maggots: Insights from stable nitrogen isotopes Putrefying animal foods laced with maggots should be considered when using isotopes to reconstruct Late Pleistocene hominin diets.

I really enjoyed reading this paper exploring the possibility that elevated d15N values may be linked to the consumption of meat that was rotten and maggot filled! Definitely lots more work to do as the authors point out, but an interesting idea!

Poor little cat, it sounds like she should pick up soon with the antibiotics and painkillers, and I am sure that she will be roaming around in no time!

I liked the concept of a Bring your Own Boar party! It made me think of the Iron age Llanmaes middens where you had to bring along your Right Forelimb of a pig to the celebration.

Great coverage of our Cave Bear paper on Olde News with @flintdibble.bsky.social (from 11.47 onwards). A brilliant summary of the key findings and the rest of the show is well worth a watch too, some great explorations of interesting archaeological findings!
