Special delivery📦🚚 Barbara, Martijn, and Charlotte visited the BAAC depot last Friday and collected the first batch of skeletons from the Sint-Maarten parish in Ypres🦴 But who were these medieval city-dwellers, and where did they come from..?🧪💀 Like for part 2?🤔 #Sr&O #osteology
Always wondered what those tiny things are? Check out this amazing paper by @rosaliehermans.bsky.social and colleagues!

Fantastic paper on Medieval Ypres. Great job Rachel Spros and the rest of the team!
SHOC VUB@shoc-vub.bsky.social · 2y agoYpres was one of 13th-century Europe’s economic powerhouses. Bart Lambert’s MOTC project drew on isotopic analyses of human skeletons to reconstruct mobility patterns of its inhabitants. Their new paper discusses evidence of regional, female and children’s mobility. link.springer.com/article/10.1...
