STARC - CYI

🗣The 2022 Cyprus Institute Summer School on Archaeological Science took place in July, check the Promised website for more: promisedtwinning.cyi.ac.cy/news/2-uncateg…

In the frame of the Talos Project @UClouvain, and in collaboration with JA MacGillivray, @APAC of the @STARC_CyI, the @EBSA, @EFALAS and the @Hellenic Ministry of Culture, @AORIFILMS, we are proud to present our first work on the Kouros of Palaikastro at vimeo.com/730071452/a580….

Meet @BaileyFranzoi, a visiting researcher @STARC_CyI and PhD candidate @UMich. Bailey is a (fast-learning!) zooarchaeologist in training! Here she is sorting sheep and goat astragali, an essential skill in Mediterranean zooarchaeology! Happy to share knowledge @CyprusInstitute!

Our colleagues Efthymia Nikita & Mahmoud Mardini of @STARC_CyI have created a FREE resource for young students interested in bioarchaeology. 🦴 What can we learn about people in the past by studying their skeletons? Download 'Bare Bones' and find out ➡️ tinyurl.com/2s3dbyss

New #isotope open access paper out by our @STARC_CyI colleagues @mahmoudmardin11 and E. Nikita and @PatrickDegryse1 from @KU_Leuven Download link: sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Next batch of comparative fish specimens and it includes pearly razorfish (see photo)! Not as tasty as #garum but hopefully will produce tasty food for our brains in the form of knowledge about ancient people, environments and their interactions. Yummy! @STARC_CyI

We've struck gold with all summer interns @STARC_CyI! @EmilyChristophi joined the team (w/ @HeikkilaRaija) just yesterday & is already familiar with #animal #osteology. She’s a fast learner and has studied and marked a goat & a dog skeleton. Appetite for knowledge is unbeatable!

@SACHROFICS reference collection database @STARC_CyI uploaded! Hopefully it's useful to fellow zooarchaeologists & beyond. Have a look & get in touch to use/borrow/exchange: sachrofics.cyi.ac.cy/reference-coll… PS: Logo updated (from pig to lamb/kid) for more accuracy (based on findings!)

Το ΡΙΚ φιλοξένησε ρεπορτάζ σχετικά με την επιστημονική μέθοδο της δενδροχρονολόγησης, η οποία φωτίζει άγνωστες πτυχές της ιστορίας που κρύβεται στις ξύλινες στέγες, στις δοκούς και την επίπλωση των πιο σημαντικών ιστορικών μνημείων της Κύπρου @STARC_CyI | youtube.com/watch?v=h7eqdT…

Our final hands-on workshop at the #PROMISED summer school is making cyanotypes, one of the earliest ways of making photos. #Cyprus #Archaeology @STARC_CyI

Dr Myrsini Gkouma @STARC_CyI begins the final day of the #Archaeology summer school in #Cyprus w/ an introduction to geoarchaeology, soil micromorphology & the site formation process. ⛏🔬

Let’s just say things may have gotten a bit messy at the pottery workshop…..but a good time was had by all! #PROMISED summer school @STARC_CyI @CyprusInstitute #Cyprus #Archaeology

Last up for Day 4 of the #PROMISED archaeological science summer school is @cortellnicolau w/ an intro to using tactical simulation & agent-based modelling to understand the past. 📈💻 #Cyprus #Archaeology

Dr Artemios Oikonomou @STARC_CyI carries on with the #glass theme discussing the role of #Cyprus in glass distribution in the eastern Mediterranean. #PROMISED

Prof Michel Menu @STARC_CyI presents “Analysis of #prehistoric art” to our #Cyprus archaeological science summer school students as part of the #PROMISED project

Prof Thilo Rehren opens Day 4 of the @STARC_CyI #Archaeology summer school introducing colour & glass in the Late Bronze Age eastern Mediterranean region - part of the #PROMISED project

And, last up today for the #Cyprus #PROMISED summer school is Dr Efthymia Nikita @STARC_CyI exploring mobility, diet & pathology w/ #bioarchaeology 💀

Dr Evi Margaritis, organiser of the @STARC_CyI #archaeologicalscience summer school in #Cyprus, gives an overview of the Early Bronze Age site of #Keros in the #Cyclades
