A nice write-up of our new #ResearchArticle on #Pregnancy in #VikingAge Scandinavia by @medievalists.bsky.social 🫶

💬 'Womb Politics' adds a crucial new layer to our understanding of Viking society. This study shifts attention to the social and symbolic role of pregnant women.

After just over 2.5 years it feels bitter sweet to be leaving #BODYPOLITICSERC & @archanchistleic.bsky.social! 🧿

But it’s not a complete goodbye just yet — as I’ll keep collaborating with the project and other wonderful colleagues at Leicester ✌🏻

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting #KulturhistoriskMuseum in Oslo to look at some interesting Iron Age cremations and reassess the material as part of the #BodyPoliticsERC project 💀🔥⚱️🔍 #postdoclife #visitingresearcher #bioarch

On Friday, #BodyPoliticsERC PI Marianne Hem Eriksen discussed some of the interesting “Untold Stories” that our work on ‘Body-Objects’ from Settlement Contexts in Iron and Vikings Age Scandinavia has brought to light — for the Funerary Archaeology Lunch Series, at University of York 💀🛖🗡️ #BodyObjects

Weighing up our #BodyPoliticsERC strontium samples - and that’s when you realise just how little 10mg of powdered enamel is! 🦷⚖️🔬 #labrat #bioarch
