I am THRILLED to announce that BBC Radio 3 have let me make 5 whole episodes w the incredibly talented producer Becky on prehistoric instruments. They are ‘sound illustrated’ contemplations, so they are wild and personal as well as archaeological. And I get to open with my amazing uncle singing :)

Congratulations to Dr Sarah Barakat who passed her PhD viva today! Sarah’s doctoral research has made a major contribution to our understanding of the use of sulfur isotopes in tracking range use in Late Pleistocene fauna. Well done Sarah! (And here’s the obligatory theme cake…)

Sometimes, with colleagues, I dabble in Forensic taphonomy, and this is one of this occasions! This article explores how damage and fractures on bones influences the physiochemical composition of bone over time, which may impact in PMI estimation! www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Physicochemical changes to surface deposited decomposing bone over different timescales: Investigating the influence of bone fractures and the use of non-destructive analytical techniques

Considerations on the drivers of bone diagenesis have received a lot of attention, yet there is still more to understand, particularly in relation to …

It is a pleasure to welcome Mónica to work with me at the University as a Marie Curie Research Fellow. We had a lot of fun working with the reference collection in advance of Mónica's first sampling mission!

Exciting times! This month, I’ve just started my #MSCA project #NEANSCAPES! 🎉🎉 (Details 🔍 cordis.europa.eu/project/id/1...) Thanks to @unilancashire.bsky.social and @jenniferbones.bsky.social for the warm welcome. Great research coming soon!😍👩‍🔬

Mislabelled Chatgpt anatomical images are my new favourite thing. Do you know your Pelvix from your Pelmis and how to differentiate between your Tarpula and your Fibuir?

Yesterday I discovered that ChatGPT's PhD-level expertise didn't extend to bird anatomy. This morning I thought, perhaps I was being too hard on the half-trillion-dollar company. Birds are a little weird, anatomically speaking. Let's try something more familiar. A mammal. Behold.

I really enjoyed reading this paper exploring the possibility that elevated d15N values may be linked to the consumption of meat that was rotten and maggot filled! Definitely lots more work to do as the authors point out, but an interesting idea! www.science.org/doi/full/10....

Neanderthals, hypercarnivores, and maggots: Insights from stable nitrogen isotopes

Putrefying animal foods laced with maggots should be considered when using isotopes to reconstruct Late Pleistocene hominin diets.

Great coverage of our Cave Bear paper on Olde News with @flintdibble.bsky.social (from 11.47 onwards). A brilliant summary of the key findings and the rest of the show is well worth a watch too, some great explorations of interesting archaeological findings! www.youtube.com/live/E-23TjC...

Our new paper explores how we can use large bodies of stable isotope data from paleoenvironmental and bioarchaeological in wider cross-discipline studies. www.nature.com/articles/s43...
