My white boards have arrived! So excited to put more retrieval practice in my classroom next semester 👩‍🏫📖🧠 @retrievelearn.bsky.social

Very excited to start this year’s publication lineup with an article that combines high-resolution isotopic analyses of teeth, Open Science, and statistical reform: www.e-a-a.org/EAA/News___P... 🦷🐘👩‍🔬

Very excited that my Masters student, Johanna Evans, who recently completed a thesis titled “Interpretative potential of high resolution sequential stable oxygen isotope analysis to investigate past climate and animal movement patterns” has been awarded a Postgraduate Medal of Academic Excellence👏🏻🏅🦷

Our welcome event for students in the Masters of Archaeological and Evolutionary Science was a blast. Students heard lightening talks from faculty while playing Bingo, heard from past & current students about their thesis projects, and played for archaeologically-themed prizes in a trivia quiz.

Very excited that our new guidelines for reporting the results of statistical analyses in the Journal of Archaeological Science have now been published online: www.sciencedirect.com/journal/jour... 🦴📊 @ercrema.bsky.social @benmarwick.bsky.social

Thank you for a fantastic @isbarchaeology.bsky.social inTorino! Highlights include talking about teeth and Asiab boar feasting during a poster session at the Musei Reali and a conference dinner at the National Automobile Museum! rdcu.be/euyuO

Wonderful post that provides insight into how @kjkillackey.bsky.social created the illustration for our wild boar study. It was such a pleasure working with her on this project!

A new piece, my recent illo depicting long distance transport of wild boars to Asiab in the early Iranian #Neolithic. I’ve reposted a couple articles featuring the illustration but here’s the whole image and some detail crops. #archaeology 🏺 #SciArt 🐡 1/9

What a great headline! Thanks for reposting the Conversation article!

I’m very excited to see our findings on wild boar feasting in The Conversation theconversation.com/guests-at-a-...

Guests at a feast in Iran’s Zagros Mountains 11,000 years ago brought wild boars from all across the land

Humans have feasted since the dawn of agriculture – but a new find suggests the practice of bringing exotic food to a communal gathering is even older.

Our ‘behind-the-paper’ post on @springernature.com Research Communities gives a sneak peak into the process involved in combining histological analysis with in situ isotopic analysis of wild boar teeth communities.springernature.com/posts/making...

Making cutting-edge archaeological science accessible to others

Archaeological scientists are constantly pushing the boundaries with regards to increasing the resolution of analyses and decreasing the masses of what can be analysed. But being cutting-edge is not e...

I’m very pleased to share that our paper on Early Neolithic boar feasting at Asiab is out in @commsearth.nature.com. rdcu.be/euyuO. Many thanks for all the Early Career Research support that made this study possible 🐗🦷👩‍🔬 @raindrop-herder.bsky.social

Transport of animals underpinned ritual feasting at the onset of the Neolithic in southwestern Asia

Very excited that my paper on statistical training is on the list of most downloaded papers in the Journal of Archaeological Science 🐘. Step-by-step walkthroughs for reproducing the examples and the images can be downloaded from the Open Science Framework on osf.io/8qxbu/

How can we improve statistical training in archaeological science?

I am thrilled to share my paper on statistical training in archaeology. Thank you to @kjkillackey.bsky.social for the incredible illustration in the graphical abstract. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Had a great time at the Association for Environmental Archaeology meeting in Oxford with my students Oscar Balla and Johanna Evans. Our posters generated some great discussion and the ANU SHRIMP lab mascot loved the travel!

Day 3 of statistical reform awareness week. The feeling you get when you want to combine findings from similar studies but all that the papers provide you with are p values...

Day 2 of statistical reform awareness week! Today's meme by Amelia Berthold. While Null Hypothesis Significance Testing is familiar and easy, taking a sharp turn and committing to embracing Open Science principles will eventually get us to where we want to be!

To celebrate the end of a successful semester, I will be posting memes that students in my research design & statistics class have created to summarise the key messages behind the new statistics approach. Today's meme was created by Abbey Petrie.
