Happy International Women's Day from TeamNun! We'll be sharing stories of premodern (and modern!) women at work throughout Women's History Month. Stay tuned and check out our project website for updates: teamnun.org

We have loads of exciting events on this week, featuring Alison More, @alisonibeach.bsky.social, Amir M.A.H. Parsa, Hannah Dawson and @zbrookman.bsky.social!

Did I mention the @lindoresabbey.bsky.social Distillery cats, Friar John Claw and Vesper -- cats so cool they have their own Instagram account with over 78,000 followers (friarandvesper)? Vesper is shy, but Friar John loves to drape himself all over the archaeology and tea tables!

never not funny!

Photo taken from the article, it shows balls of woad, which is how the dyestuff would have been sold.

Paper rec: Hayward, M. (2015) 'Dressed in blue: the impact of woad on English clothing, c.1350-c.1670', Costume, 49(2), pp. 168-185. doi.org/10.1179/0590... Interesting article, especially with woad being such an old, recorded, dye. #DressHistory #HistoricalTextiles

Archaeological scientists in the archives, historians in the lab -- the #TeamNun way! We work together to understand the strengths and limitations of our various academic specialties and how they work together!

#TeamNun on the road in Saluzzo, Italy! Working our way through 6 centuries of a Cistercian women’s monastery. Riffredo/Santa Maria della Stella 🤩

I love this so much!

A suggestion on how UK universities can save money and reduce faculty burnout in one fell swoop: drop the surveillance culture of moderators, externals, etc., etc. Hire good people and trust that they will do their job.

Perfect row on the North Sea. Cormorants, oystercatchers, herons and a very curious grey seal.

I live in a beautiful place. Sunrise from our window 😍

Was just about to post the same meme. Everything is fine. This is fine.
