Bones don’t just decay — they record time.
Cracks ➡️ flaking ➡️ surface change.
In this piece, I explore how weathering turns bone into a clock ⏳🦴 commingledremains.substack.com/p/cracks-as-...

What can cracks in bone tell us about time since death? What are the implications in Australian archaeological and forensic contexts?

Among other things, we are currently busy finalizing our osteological protocols—and THAT doesn't make it any easier to estimate age at death from skeletons that are missing the 💀... Fortunately, there is some expertise in #bayesianmodeling on the team as well 🦴🧑💻😮💨 #paleodemography #humanosteology
Since the #Vráble #skeletons have arrived from Nitra, there has been some progress in the #bone department 💀🦴🧹💧📷📐👀 cleaning routine, #photogrammetry & #3Dmodelling are being established!

Finally online: @neolithicbodies.bsky.social project! Follow for more information on the mysterious #LBK site of Vráble-Vel’ke Lehemy, where dozens of headless skeletons where found in a ditch… perhaps we find some skulls this summer?
