Please enjoy all of the balloon arches that my university has had on display over the last three weeks.
In other news I'm thinking of setting up a NW based balloon arch company.

Today I learnt the word gralloched.
In related news we should be getting a new red deer reference skeleton soon!
No relation!
New episode!!! It’s The archaeology of… Cave Bears!!! With the fabulous Dr Jones (Jen. Who is a real archaeologist, unlike certain other Dr Jones we could mention) youtu.be/JiK8L_JRmh8
The Archaeology of...Cave Bears podcast out today! Also available on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about why you shouldn't cuddle a cave bear, what they ate, and why they might have become extinct.

This made me chuckle! Excellent work Flint!
Congratulations on an excellent thesis Sarah!
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…)
Now I am thinking that Jim and I should request that....

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!

Not to mention three fantastic keynote speakers!
Thanks to the AEA @envarch.bsky.social for selecting us to host it! We've worked hard to plan a great conference (with optional features of a conference dinner curling session, and a field trip to see the archaeology of the Eden Valley and rewilding!).
We are delighted to be hosting the 46th Association for Environmental Archaeology Conference between the 7th to the 9th May 2026 at the University of Lancashire. See the website for further information and the link for the abstract submission!

It is a pleasure to welcome Mónica to work with me at the University as a Marie Curie Research Fellow. We had a lot of fun working with the reference collection in advance of Mónica's first sampling mission!
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?
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!
What a sad looking little thing! Hope she recovers quickly!
That's really helpful! Thanks Flint!
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!
