The methodology we developed during our project for lithic residue analysis with the use of paleoproteomics was just presented at the @awrana.bsky.social conference in Pisa by @halbevi.bsky.social Hoping it will be a useful tool for other #usewear and #residue specialists.

Great fun yesterday in the Meuse Valley where we showcased the fantastic Kennis brothers and @roam-ugent.bsky.social team's reconstruction of cranium 1 from the #Mesolithic Grotte Margaux! Don't forget to join the public vote - will she be called Margo, Freyà, or Mos'anne? www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/20...
A human cranium sits on a round black table next to a bust of a woman with tanned light brown skin, wearing a necklace made of a perforated badger tooth, and a headdress with upright feathers. She has dark hair wrapped up around the sides of the headdress, and the front of her hair is shaven. Her expression is intriguing, with pursed lips, prominent cheekbones, and eyes seeming to squint in the sunlight. In the background, the Meuse river flows between green fields and tree-covered hills and cliffs.

On the Campus Ledeganck there were experiments with Prehistorical stone tools and Roman metal ones. The audience was tested on their knowledge on animal bones and zooarchaeology and could get some hands on experience. Much was learned and we’re excited for the next edition, we hope you too?
