Excited to announce that i have recieved @FWOVlaanderen funding for my project: The Truth in the Tooth: Reconstructing and Comparing Human Life Histories in the Mesolithic and Neolithic of Europe. @VUBrussel with the #AMGC and @MariVub . More to come soon 🦷🦷

📞 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..?🧪

you can find Dr. Javier Ordoño at @arkikus !

and thank you to the co-authors, @ToothDetective @IsotopistRachel @CarinaGerritzen @GoderisSteven @ClaeysVub @Christophe_Fire @chris_tt_cheung, Prof. Barbara Veselka, Dr. Teresa Fernández-Crespo, and Dr. Javier Ordoño 🤠🥰

Today my new paper was published in Plos One. High-resolution Neolithic life history reconstructions using Incremental dentine, bone collagen, and multi-enamel sampling! I'm really pleased with this one! journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… @BrusselsBioarch @AMGC_VUB

Massive congrats to @Christophe_Fire on winning a @VUBrussel Excellent PhD Supervisor Award. Your support and enthusiasm mean the 🌍 to the team 🔥

Phytoliths in dicotyledons occurring in North-western Europe: Establishing a baseline academic.oup.com/aob/article-ab… So excited to share our accepted manuscript! It sets up a dicot phytolith baseline for NW Europe. Happy reading soon and feel free to reach out!

The first Belgium strontium isoscape is out now! @AmandaSengeloev & the team provide the first 604 plant samples from 220 locations, with more data coming soon! Paper here👇 sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Dataset available on @isoarch_eu 👇doi.org/10.48530/ISOAR…

New BB-LAB paper out 👍🏻 Marta Hlad and the team identified and characterised patterns in cremation analysis practices through an online survey of those working on cremated human remains 👇 journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… @JBioarch @Tee_Loeffel @ToothDetective @Christophe_Fire @AMGC_VUB

Time & Space! At this years Wetenschapfestival Brussel, our @AMGC_VUB team presented themes of both archaeology and cosmo chemistry under one roof, presenting samples, creating art, and giving out free (temporary) tattoos 🦷🦴🔥☄️🌘🪨🚀 Well done to the whole team!

if anyone is interested in my super fun updates on another platforms that is not linked with a *********** ******* *****, here is my Bluesky: jbioarch.bsky.social xx

After an amazing PhD journey, I will be defending my thesis on the 15th of November🥳. If you’d like to hear more about the isotope analyses I did on the medieval population of Ypres, you are more than welcome to attend my public defence in Brussels!🦴🦷Message me for more info!

How can I work with such distractions?

@archae_delle @AMGC_VUB @BrusselsBioarch @FWOVlaanderen @VUBrussel @researchvub @SapienzaRoma Ily2 you were missed this year 😢

@JBioarch @AMGC_VUB @BrusselsBioarch @FWOVlaanderen @VUBrussel @researchvub @SapienzaRoma That photo omg lol I love you so much

I'm late to the game but I presented at #EAA2024 last week. The issues with multi sampling archaeological teeth. More to come soon

let’s be cosy and talk about cosiness in archaeology this december 🤩

@pickledhen @AMGC_VUB @BrusselsBioarch @FWOVlaanderen @VUBrussel @researchvub @SapienzaRoma Yes, combination of Incremental dentine and enamel methodologies... and the complexities that entails!

@JBioarch @AMGC_VUB @BrusselsBioarch @FWOVlaanderen @VUBrussel @researchvub @SapienzaRoma Ooh! Not sampling generally, but multi sampling?

The annual #EAA2024 conference is on next week & the team is getting ready! If you're interested, our talks cover topics from investigating mobility & diet in humans & 🐄 using isotopes, to examining human-environment interactions & cremation practices 🔥 See you in Rome! ✈️

No storm could stop us 😀 Our sampling campaign for a Bioavailable Strontium map of Latvia has come to an end! Now to the lab! Thank you to the team! #Zvejnieki
