A retired academic proudly displays his Team Nun mug, but he is clearly not a historian even though he watches Digging for Britain.
Don’t see how to edit a Blue Sky post, so here is the full image, with the #teamnun mug (and more books).
I received my #teamnun mug some time ago, and after extensive research found that when you get one you have to take a selfie with it while standing in front of your bookshelf and then post the photo on Bluesky. I finally got round to taking the required picture, so here it is.
A great interview! #TeamNun!
Team leader, @alisonibeach.bsky.social on osteobiography! #TeamNun #medievalsky

#TeamNun in the Laboratory of Medieval Archaeology at the University of Barcelona -- assessing a skeletal assemblage from ongoing excavations at Santa Maria d'Alguaire.
If you're looking for a good listen while you're snowed in, Richard Abels' conversation with Alison Beach about osteobiographies and #TeamNun is a must-listen. #medievalsky

The #TeamNun fleece-to-embroidery project continues! The wool thread that we prepared at #ucdexperimentalarchaeology is dyed, dried, and ready to go to Scotland to be tested out by TeamNun St Andrews! Madder (red/brown) and Woad (blue) thread, and Weld (yellow) and Weld + Woad (green) fleece!
As the #TeamNun fleece-to-embroidery project continued, we dyed a hank of wool using the indigo Anita made with woad. Watching the thread turn from a blackish colour to lovely blue when the dyed wool was squeezed out & exposed to the air was magical! The smell of the boiling dyes was...interesting!
Our #TeamNun fleece-to-embroidery project continues with the spun thread removed from the spindle and placed in the dyer's madder! Dyer's madder can produce a range of colors from oranges to reds and was one of the most commonly used dyes in the Middle Ages. @experimentarchaeol.bsky.social
After combing the fleece, we placed it on a distaff to begin the spinning process. The distaff is commonly associated with women in the Middle Ages -- it is really just a long stick with the prepared fleece tied to it. #TeamNun #UCDExperimental Archaeology
Our work in the UCD Experimental Archaeology Lab began with a lovely pile of cleaned fleece from Valais Blacknose sheep (Image: CC-SA 2.0 alex.ch). #TeamNun #UCDExperimentalArchaeology

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!
