During the Corona lock-down I made my first electric guitar from scratch. I was very proud of it (have made two others since). There were some major flaws in it though. In the last months, I have taken it back to my workbench and redid some things. Now it plays well, and I am again happy with it.

When did people in northern Europe first adopt animal husbandry? #NationalFarmAnimalsDay 🏺 #Archaeology Isotope analysis of animal remains from Swifterbant 🇳🇱 suggests livestock management was practised in the Dutch wetlands over 200 years earlier than expected. 🆓 doi.org/10.15184/aqy...

Summary chart showing mean and standard deviation of carbon and nitrogen isotope values from Swifterbant compared to human and faunal values from the Mesolithic site of Hardinxveld. One group of cows and sheep at Swifterbant displays a diet similar to humans and dogs, suggesting they were being managed by humans.

There is a growing awareness that sediments are not only the “dirt” that needs to be dug out of a site, but that they are fundamental parts of the archaeological record. Archaeological soil micromorphology is at the forefront of this research and so our work at ERC MatrixStG.
