- Reposted by Brussels Bioarchaeology LabThe LOCO project is looking for 2 PhDs and 2 Post-docs in (bio-)archaeology, history, geochemistry, and digital humanities. This joint project between VUB, KUL, and UGent looks at the mobility of people, materials, and ideas in the Low Countries. Apply before 30 April 2025 😀
- Join us in Belgium! Two PhD and two postdocs are available on the LOCO project. Its a great opportunity to work with a large interdisciplinary team examining the mobility of people, materials and ideas 💡

- 📞 Ypres calling! 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
- Great work by @rosaliehermans.bsky.social and team on developing an expanded baseline for NW Europe 🌱🔬🔥

- This multiproxy analysis of the large Tilburg-Udenhoutseweg urnfield uncovered social networks! Local mobility and preferential land use was seen and nonadults & women were enjoying different diets than men! 🔥🦴🌿🍖

- Great work by our recent joint SHOC and AMGC PhD graduate @isotopistrachel.bsky.social on leading this comprehensive isotope study. As part of the Make-up of the City project, Dr Spros measured 🦷🦷🦷 from the inhabitants of medieval Ypres to uncover their mobility patterns! @amgc-vub.bsky.social
- New paper out by @jbioarch.bsky.social on Legaire Sur (Álava, Spain), a Late Neolithic/Chalcolithic transition burial tomb. This period was a time of notable population expansion, technological advancement, as well as social and economic change. Isotopic analysis of 🦷& 🦴tells us more 🧵1/6

- Last week, @christophe-fire.bsky.social was in Trento, to attend the MOLA workshop, part of Dr Giacomo Capuzzo's MSCA post-doc fellowship. The first exciting results were presented, which use multi-isotope analyses of inhumation & cremations in the Italian Alps from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age.

- The first Belgium’s strontium isoscape is out now! Amanda Sengeløv & the team provide the first 604 plant samples from 220 locations, with more data coming soon! Paper here👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Dataset available on @isoarch.bsky.social 👇https://doi.org/10.48530/ISOARCH.2024.001
- This month @elliestam.bsky.social and @osteolady.bsky.social have been working on the excavation of LBA/EIA cremation graves at Steenwijk in The Netherlands. The cremation depositions will come back to AMGC to be CT scanned and then micro-excavated!
- What does research on the past bring to people living today? This was discussed live on national radio last Sunday, when @isotopistrachel.bsky.social was interviewed by De Ochtend on VRT Radio 1 about her research on medieval Ypres. Missed it? You find it here: www.vrt.be/vrtmax/luist...
- It's great to have you here with us!
