How did prehistoric people respond to natural disasters? Some of 2025's most-read research suggested a volcanic eruption that blocked out the sun caused people in Neolithic Denmark to ritually sacrifice 'sun stones' to ensure a good harvest. Read it 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy... 🏺 #Archaeology

SCAPES postdoctor @annapp90.bsky.social is currently sampling human remains to explore population development and Norway’s Neolithic transition. Did agriculture arrive with colonizers? Did groups cooperate or clash? Did they eat a primarily terrestrial or maritime diet? #Archaeology #aDNA #isotopes

Time for a long overdue introduction Bluesky! I am an anthropological archaeologist interested in isotopic temporal proxies (esp. 14C) to understand time and temporality among past societies. I also investigate archaeological epistemologies and chronopolitics through ArchSci perspectives.
