Scanning, printing, cleaning, curing, and voila - bone clone! @UKRI_News @ahrcpress

Our first 3D print of a bone! This medieval cattle metacarpal might not look like much but it means we are in business in our RICHeS Ark of the North lab - next stop, scanning and printing A WHOLE BEAR SKELETON 🐻 🦴 @UKRI_News @ahrcpress

We’ve extended the deadline for our new zooarch technician post in light of confusion over the length of the role. It’s a grade 5 post with funding secure until at least March 2031 - new closing date June 1st! abdnjobs.co.uk/wd/plsql/wd_p…

Amazing to be a part of this! It’s rare to encounter an archaeological emergancy but this really was one - truly a once in a lifetime site! independent.co.uk/news/uk/ho…

New paper alert! Sulfur isotopes evidence Pleistocene faunal spatial ecology - 100s of data points, years of combined research effort, and an isotope-zooarch-zooms collab. Congrats to @Sarah_Barakat_ who led this to fruition!

PalaeoScot is down in Pembroke for the week - it’s a PalaeoScot-PalaeoWales collab! We’ve done some isotope work at Wogan Cavern over the last few years and it’s great to finally see the site & to check out a potential new cave with some of the Wogan team too 👀 🦣 🦌 @UKRI_News

On Wednesday, we’re presenting our first results on the study of the fauna from Reindeer Cave (NW Scotland), with @PrehistoricEdge, at TAPHOS conference 🤓

Great to be at the @PrehistSociety Europa conference today, a celebration of landscape connectivity in prehistory and the career and work of the wonderful Martin Bell. First up, a fascinating and rapid-fire tour of 900,000 years of island (and not island) Britain with Matt Pope

We had the privilege of welcoming @AHRCPress to @SciTecDaresbury for the launch of the RICHeS programme.
Learn more about this programme, and how bringing RICHeS onto campus will put heritage science at the heart of research and innovation ▶️▶️ youtu.be/o2yBJKvPP8Y?si=3x8T…

We’re thrilled to be providing an update on excavations at @Wogan Cavern as part of the upcoming Pembrokeshire Archaeology Day (9th Nov).
Come and hear about the latest #Palaeolithic and #Mesolithic research @Wogan Cavern as well as other archaeological projects in Pembrokeshire

Of course. A sensible past me would actually have included a link to the paper in this self-congratulatory post... 🤦♂️

Last day of fieldwork in the Cairngorm. Following with the interdisciplinary nature of the season, it included a bit of geomorphology, spatial data for geophysical research, and my first test pit in a very long time.
Thanks to @GraemeMWarren for letting me use a trowel.
