🗣️ New paper! 🗣️ The mobility patterns of the population of Gallo-Roman Tienen (Belgium) are keeping you up at night? Wondering if there is more than mobility reflected in these 87Sr/86Sr results? This is very relatable, and conveniently, I have the right paper for you! It's accessible right there 👇

Seguro que se te ha pasado por la cabeza alguna vez si prefieres que te cremen o te entierren ¿a que sí? ¿Sabes que llevamos miles de años eligiendo entre las dos opciones? ¿Y que optar por una u otra tiene significados diferentes? Quédate en este #HiloTesis #UGR @crueuniversidades.bsky.social

A lot has happened since then! We began the process of acquiring permits for sampling human remains by visiting the Museu de Mallorca (twice!) and the Museu de Menorca and Museu de Ciutadella.

Hey there bluesky archaeo people, I'm taking this fresh start to introduce myself with a recap of my year so far. This year I started my PhD adventure at UGent and the VUB to learn about funerary rituals and mobility patterns of the Balearic Islands through archaeometric methods 🏝️🦴🧪👩‍🔬.
