🚨 New paper alert! 🚨 (1/5) Excited to share that our latest paper on dicotyledon phytoliths in NW Europe can now be found here! 🌱🔬 This study fills a gap by documenting and analyzing phytoliths from 74 dicot species. If you want a free access link to the paper, contact us! 📩

Great work by @rosaliehermans.bsky.social & the team on developing a dicot phytolith baseline for NW Europe to make it easier accurately interpret archaeological and palaeoecological data! @tloeffelmann.bsky.social @christophe-fire.bsky.social @caestromberg.bsky.social @amgc-vub.bsky.social 🌱🌿

So excited to share our accepted manuscript! It sets up a dicot phytolith baseline for NW Europe. Phytolith researchers working on reference materials know how time-consuming this type of work is 🥵, I hope it will be useful to many. Happy reading soon and feel free to reach out!

Practitioner preferences in the analysis of cremation deposits in archaeology and biological anthropology: An overview of current osteoarchaeological practices with a focus on sex estimation

Osteological data, such as biological sex, constitute a base for research in paleodemography and palaeopathology, as well as for understanding past socio-cultural practices. Despite extensive research...
