From medieval law codes to the mysteries of Viking dental modification - thank you Alex Alexander Wilson for a fascinating paper yesterday at the CSVA seminar! Can't wait to see where your research on bodypolitics goes next.


Our PhD students, Brad Marshall and Emma Louise Thompson , have been getting some intensive osteoarchaeology training with project friend, @DrDaviesB, this term! 🦴🔎📒 It's been a great opportunity to expand their skillsets and gain new ways of looking at the people we study in the past.


Last week I had the pleasure of visiting Kulturhist. museum in Oslo to look at some interesting Iron Age cremations and reassess the material as part of the bodypolitics project 💀🔥⚱️🔍 #postdoclife #visitingresearcher #bioarch


In November, PhD researcher Renate Larssen visited the National Historical Museums Sweden archives in Stockholm, Sweden to look at animal remains from Tuna i Alsike and Helgö.
