Not so long ago, zooarchaeology was a male-dominated field, like many others. Among the few women entering this discipline was Dorothea Bate. Her Mediterranean fieldwork & discoveries of fossil dwarf species left a lasting legacy. #FossilFriday #paleontology #archaeology #womeninscience

🦴👁️ Before paleontology existed, fossils of extinct elephants like Palaeoloxodon or Deinotherium were mistaken for cyclops skulls. That “eye” was actually the nasal cavity for the trunk. 🎃🎃 #FossilFriday #Halloween #HappyHalloween #Palaeontology #Archaeology #ScienceHistory

#IWD2025 is an important day to celebrate women's social, economic, cultural & political achievements, but it's also a good occasion to call for gender equality. The #SheFigures report on R&I describes the challenges women researchers face, but also highlights ideas to help them. 🔗 buff.ly/3EJDkB4
