The methodology we developed during our project for lithic residue analysis with the use of paleoproteomics was just presented at the @awrana.bsky.social conference in Pisa by @halbevi.bsky.social Hoping it will be a useful tool for other #usewear and #residue specialists.
Our exhibition is travelling to the Prehistomuseum in Liège. For the opening, there will be a lecture by @idegroote.bsky.social and prof. Hans Vandendriessche on the 17th of December. More in comments and: www.prehisto.museum/nl/agenda/co...

On the Campus Ledeganck there were experiments with Prehistorical stone tools and Roman metal ones. The audience was tested on their knowledge on animal bones and zooarchaeology and could get some hands on experience. Much was learned and we’re excited for the next edition, we hope you too?
The 24th of november our departement participated in the Dag van de Wetenschap 2024 on two locations! In the Krook we immersed people in the world of bioarch and the research project “Judith, a Carolingian princess in Ghent”
