📢📢📢One more week to send the abstracts ICAZ2023! ICAZ News ABiLiS-Lab IPHES-CERCA Universitat Rovira i Virgili #Multiproxy #Isotopes #DentalWear #zooarchaeology #Taphonomy #GM #Cairns #Australia 🌏🌍🌎 🐻🐼🐴🐎🦌🦌🐏🐑🐐🐐🍃🍂🌿

I got a D in my A Level Biology results, which was my second attempt because I failed the first go.

But

9 years later I have 18 months left of my PhD research in forensic taphonomy, which surprisingly involves a lot of science 😉

Results really don't define your future ❤️

#FossilFriday
Spent last two weeks studying the Haro River Quarry assemblage from Pakistan with Dr. Advait M. Jukar for palaeoecology and taphonomy. This is one of the most complete, well preserved and the only Pleistocene Siwalik assemblage from a well recorded, excavated context.

This week I'm at IPHES-CERCA, in Terragona, to learn how to read the dental microwear of animals' teeth to reconstruct their ecological niche. Right now, I'm observing the first interesting samples from Lebanon for my #PhD project!

Here it is, my daughter! 🎉 Less than two weeks left for the #PhD oral defense at IPHES-CERCA, let's make the last push! 💪🏼
I studied two #CollectiveBurials 💀 from a #ForensicTaphonomy perspective 🔬, including #Taphonomy #FuneraryPractices #Paleopathology and #PrehistoricViolence 😁

Thanks to the Musée de Préhistoire de Tautavel for the warm welcome and for allowing us to conduct the 'Taphonomy of teeth: between nature and culture' workshop. It has undoubtedly provided an incredible experience to all the participating researchers.

🚨 Another aDNA postdoc job alert 🚨! 🔬 Join the University of Stavanger as a postdoc researcher and dive deep into the thrilling realms of ancient DNA and taphonomy 🧬🦴🔍 More information: jobbnorge.no/en/available-j…

that your dog's bizarre compulsion to roll around in dead things and poop goes way, way back.

🚨New #OpenAccess paper🚨on our work at the #Neanderthal site of Salzgitter-Lebenstedt: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jq…. We used ZooMS to identify small bone fragments from the site and integrated these with taphonomy to investigate site formation history and human subsistence behaviour.

Last day Denver Museum w/ Grace Pizzini for #FossilFriday . Grace is leading a #taphonomy study on Denver Basin micro bonebeds, and I’m looking at the first tiny #PaleoceneMammal assemblage from the Denver Basin. UM Paleontology representing! #GoBlue
