When you're finally ready to get back to the microscope and the department fridge froze all your samples solid. #archaeobotany

Okay, but what is the best bird and why is it (totally objectively) a crow?

Pal and Meso in Southern Scandinavia seminar at Moesgaard on May 1st! Come join us for a whole day of niche nerding out and networking.

Note: Majority of the presentations likely in Danish.

Cardboard boxes with reconstructions of Upper Palaeolithic artefacts, including a spear thrower and a bunch of Venus figurines.

Happy archaeologist with a silver (Willendorf) Venus pendant on her necklace.

Today’s teaching is an artefact workshop and I got to bring these beautiful copies of upper Palaeolithic art as a treat. Bonus: also brought my own.

Revisiting Europe's temperate forests: Palaeoecological evidence for an herbivory-driven woodland-grassland mosaic biome Understanding the pre-Homo sapiens baseline of the temperate forest biome is crucial for interpreting present-day biodiversity patterns, ecosystem fun…

Super honoured to have contributed to this epic piece of work, lead masterfully by @szymon-czyzewski.bsky.social.

We review multiple lines of palaeoecological evidence to reassess vegetation structure over the last 23 million years:

Yesterday was ‘bring your husband to work day’ for me 😂 Feels like I’m famous when he’s just randomly snapping pictures.
Good date activity though; first make them listen to your niche lectures and then eat a delicious lunch without doing the dishes.

@videnskab.dk jeg tror i mangler et "forhold" :)

Missed my kitchen and my kids <3

One very sweaty and very happy archaeobotanist at the poster session yesterday. Now I get to focus solely on all the amazing presentations to come! #IWGP2025

Find me and this poster at 13.30 at the IWGP. Feel free to always talk to me about plants and hunter-gatherer plant relationships 🌳

Very Dutch vibes at the IWGP conference in Groningen! I too happen to love Stroopwaffles!

University life during the two most popular vacation weeks! It’s a desert 🏜️ at least I have @sofiefh.bsky.social for lunch company ❤️

There has to be a scientific term for the complete halt in writing that happens every time you hit a new heading, right?

A laptop, mouse and a water bottle on a garden table. Behind it you can see a hilly landscape full of grass, herbs and trees. The sun is shining.

Ready to give this ‘out of office writing’ a try. So far not the worst view I’ve ever been subjected to!

The annual research celebration day at @auarcher.bsky.social is tomorrow and my poster is based on our JAS Reports paper, published earlier this year. Feel free to download the paper (open access) or take a peek at the poster 🔎

Dialogues Across Time? Conceptualising the Temporal Relationships of Palimpsests in the Upper Palaeolithic Cave Art of El Castillo (Cantabria, Spain) - Journal of Archaeological Method and Theory Cave sites were frequently reused throughout the Upper Palaeolithic, with many sites within south-western Europe having deep chronologies of activity. The repeated engagement with the same caves, or s...

Why did Palaeolithic artists decide to produce art on the same walls that someone else had decorated? Do rock art palimpsests reflect dialogues that occurred across tens-of-thousands of years? My new OA paper develops a conceptual framework to explore these dimensions! 👇🏺

The streets are bright with summer snow (cherry blossoms) ❄️☀️

Celebrating Mother’s Day the perfect way. Booking a tattoo appointment (courtesy of husband and kids) and drinking a mock-jito in the spring sun.

This month has been insane for thrift store finds 😍😍😍

Jeg gennemgår magasinkasser for tiden og nogle af dem er vidunderlige! Ildrød Ertebøllekultur 🔥

Until next time, Norway!

My first archaeological cave experience! Vistehola ☀️☀️

Spending the week in beautiful Stavanger thinking about research design in environmental archaeology ❤️
Travelling alone is terrifying, but Norway is gorgeous!
