Poster showing an axial CT of a human skull with a fracture in the eoccipital part text announcing PD Dr. Stefan Potente's (Uni Bonn) talk "Injuries in fresh bone – as seen by the forensic pathologist" 5.12.2025, 16:15

Brace yourself for Stefan Potente's talk! Blunt and sharp force are daily fare in contemporary forensics. Crossbows and sabres have mostly disappeared, but fresh bone injuries still raise questions — especially “fall or assault?” This Friday 16h in HS2 or get in touch for the Zoom link!

Join us in Liverpool on 29-30/11 at the 2025 BAFA Conference to attend the practical CPD session on trauma and taphonomy, with keynote lectures by Dr. Tal Simmons and Prof. Rick Schulting.

Upcoming workshop in Visby, Gotland - application of forensic traumatology to archaeological skeletal remains - with a definite focus on medieval warfare. Looking forward to delivering this along with @tonypollard.bsky.social, Peter Johnsson, & Jo Buckberry @bradarch.bsky.social @uubrl.bsky.social

I am looking for a multispecies archaeologist with a strong theoretical and interpretive profile to join my group (100%, 3 years): uni.koeln/2E7CR

Deadline: 30.09.2025.

Yay, congratulations! 👏🍾

New publication 📖 Trauma or damage? A study on the breakage patterns of the Apidima crania, which was part of my PhD research.

Congratulations to the editors & all contributors of this volume! 👏

Drowning Doesn’t Look Like Drowning Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Sie ist überall: die Rede vom #Spitzenforscher. Nur: Was soll das überhaupt sein? Über einen Begriff, der das Gros der Wissenschaftler_innen als zweitklassig degradiert & einem Geniekult zuarbeitet, der der Arbeitsrealität in der Wissenschaft weder angemessen noch zuträglich ist. ⬇️ #ArbeitInDerWiss

Are you a forensic anthropologist or other biological anthropologist who considers skeletal trauma interpretation part of your skill set?

We are running a study (survey, ~15 min) on how practitioners interpret skeletal trauma. It's kinda fun to do!

Sharing this with others is much appreciated 🤩

#NextGenSci asked young scientists to write a rule that all principal investigators should be required to follow to improve the experience of young scientists in their lab.

Congratulations! 👏

🚨NEW PAPER from the @eegcam.bsky.social!🚨I have never been as proud of something as of the work that finally we can share today: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... - we show how a climatically driven Pan African meta population model explains our species genetic and morphological diversity 🧬💀

Interested in investigating human history? Still a chance to join us in Uppsala as a junior or senior fellow! Closing date soon!

A great success for archaeology and human origins research in Germany 🥳 Two clusters of excellence to be funded for (another) 7 years. Congratulations to @clusterroots.bsky.social, @uni-kiel.de, @unituebingen.bsky.social, @harvatilab.bsky.social, @marlenfroehlich.bsky.social @ctennie.bsky.social!

Exciting talk by @romangarba.bsky.social on cosmogenic nuclides for dating prehistoric sites - fabulous work at #Korolevo (western #Ukraine) and East-to-West dispersal into Europe 1.5-1.3 million years ago. Huge potential for new and old excavations 🤩🤩
