Just randomly watched a 1977 episode of Mastermind. I'm slightly stunned by what they considered to be general knowledge.

Great to see this paper come out on the life history of a woman traveller from the #LateIntermediatePeriod in the #Atacama Desert of northern Chile. Well done @fransantanas.bsky.social and a host of colleagues! doi.org/10.1098/rsos...

Delighted to have been awarded an ERC Advanced Grant for 'Stocking the Past' which will investigate the balance between arable farming and stockkeeping in Neolithic and Bronze Age Britain and Ireland using a range of isotopic and genomic approaches with a great team. Should be fun!

Great to see this paper come out! I usually work with teeth and bone fragments – beautiful in their own way of course, but these amazing #Amazonian objects from the Trombetas are on another level. It was a privilege to be involved in their study. doi.org/10.1016/j.ja...

Canadian content in Liverpool! But no actual caribou, not that that would be a thing…

Very happy to see this paper come out on Guanahaní, The Bahamas. doi.org/10.1016/j.qu... Many thanks to colleagues Mary Jane Berman, Grace Turner and Joanna Ostapkowicz for all their hard work helping to bring this to fruition. It is a companion paper to a previous study. doi.org/10.1016/j.qu...

Wonderful light through the ‘skindow’ in the reconstructed Early Neolithic house at Butser Ancient Farm. With our new cohort of MSc Arch Sci students. #butserancientfarm

It’s hard to get my archaeological brain around this one. #rewilding ?

A younger and rounder Tanu (aka "Bruno") and his sister are the poster pups on the cover of the 2026 GB spinone club calendar! Do we get royalties? #Italianspinone

Rick Schulting @rschulting.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

New arrival Tanu, weighing in at 17 kg - he’s a big puppy! Our older dog Kenta is just about tolerating him. #italianspinone

6) skip messy step of gutting, left to Bill for forgetting to gas up. 7) cure fish overnight, and dip into maple syrup (that’s Bill).

5) show Dave’s 8 lb coho just because it’s bigger (with adipose fin) - only allowed to be kept by First Nations until 1 October when it opens to all.

4) catch fish, in this case a 4 lb hatchery coho (distinguished by removed adipose fin)

3) heading into Victoria harbour because “somebody” (Bill) forgot to put gas in the boat.

2) heading to good fishing spot off Victoria harbour, on advice of Dave (First Nations, fishing all his life - i.e. we pay attention)

Documenting the entire process of making delicious smoked wild Pacific salmon. 1) on the boat at ungodly hour before sunrise.

Getting my sister into bonsai. Zen in theory. I must be on holiday.

Smoked coho salmon, 24 hours after caught. Not bad on Vancouver Island!

And introducing Tanuki (Tanu), new member of the household, arriving early October!

And on a more academic note, many congratulations to Teresa Fernández-Crespo and colleagues on the publication of their paper on the identities of victims of Neolithic violence in Science Advances. www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1...

Multi-isotope biographies and identities of victims of martial victory celebrations in Neolithic Europe

Isotopic data of people killed in Neolithic France suggest their attribution to nonlocal victims of war rituals of triumph.

Kenta's BBC début caught on Bargain Hunt today! Very photogenic. We on the other hand didn't get a look in. Well, except for my hand.

Beautiful setting of All Souls College, Oxford, for what was often a rather dark topic. Many thanks to my co-organisers Teresa Fernández-Crespo (the main driver!), Javier Ordoño and Andrew Wilson, and to all the speakers and contributors! deviantburialsworkshop.com

Thought long and hard (2 mins at least) about what my first bluesky post should be, and then thought *uck it, I'll just post a picture of Kenta (#spinone), being very attentive in the kitchen.
