📣Join us next Wednesday at 16:00 CET for Dr Emese Végh's talk on SpecieScan, an open-access algorithm for automating taxa identification from raw MALDI-ToF mass spectrometry (MS) data! And before the talk check out the associated paper here: academic.oup.com/bioinformatics…

We’re delighted to announce 𝗗𝗿 𝗘𝗺𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗜𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗮 𝗩𝗲́𝗴𝗵, Dr Emese Végh Postdoc Research Fellow at Archaeology, Environmental Changes & Geo-Chemistry (AMGC),Vrije Universiteit Brussel, as the 𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗮𝘆𝗹𝗼𝗿 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱

Dr Emese Végh's talk from earlier this week, "SpecieScan: semi-automated taxonomic identification of bone collagen peptides from MALDI-ToF-MS" from our #PAASTA talk series is now live on our YouTube channel for anyone that missed it (or wants to rewatch it!) youtube.com/watch?v=eT6Wfb…

This is a big deal--a second high quality Denisovan genome has been sequenced, and it's old! The most ancient human genome yet has been sequenced—and it’s a Denisovan’s | Science | AAAS science.org/content/articl…

The annual #EAA2024 conference is on next week & the team is getting ready! If you're interested, our talks cover topics from investigating mobility & diet in humans & 🐄 using isotopes, to examining human-environment interactions & cremation practices 🔥 See you in Rome! ✈️

It's on the last day but it's the hottest 🔥 Don't miss the opportunity to visit our session #627 in European Association of Archaeologists in Rome on Saturday 31 August! Amazing talks from amazing researchers are coming 💀🔥🧪🔬

Had a lovely time at the 30th EAA annual meeting in Rome. Can’t imagine a better venue for 5000 archaeologists 💫🫶🏻 Thank you to the organisers and for the opportunity to present in the Eternal City. ☀️

Day 3 excavations and in true Belgian style, it's raining! We are recovering the pig and lamb bones to take back to Brussels for analysis! Thanks for hosting us Préhistomuseum 👍🏻🔥

I am so glad to share with you that our new paper on radiocarbon dating and strontium isotope analysis on cremated remains from Belgium is out! It shows that a multidisciplinary approach can detect multiple individuals within the same grave! 🔥🦴🔥

Only one week left to apply!! Join us in Brussels BB-LAB Archaeology, Environmental Changes & Geo-Chemistry

Delighted to welcome Dr Emese Végh back to our lab to work on an FWF ESPRIT postdoc grant, developing new methods for compound specific radiocarbon dating of bone. highamlab.univie.ac.at/team/ HEAS Vienna

🔥New paper out in #PLOSONE, including a wide range of scientific analyses on cremated bones: Sr isotopes for palaeomobility, 14C dating, and, for the first time in Italy, FTIR data and C-O isotopes to infer cremation conditions! BB-LAB ➡️dx.plos.org/10.1371/journa…

🌟 Exciting news! Introducing our brand-new Isotope Archaeology & Forensics Lab at VU Amsterdam! It is part of the Netherlands Isotope GEochemistry Laboratory (NIGeL), enabling cutting-edge research in Earth sciences, archaeology, forensics, and cultural heritage.

📢10th BONE DIAGENESIS MEETING #BD2025 Where: Athens 🇬🇷 When: 24-26 September 2025 ☀️ 📞 FOR ABSTRACTS Submission deadline: 31 March Early 🐥 registration: 15 July For more information check bd-2025.com And 👇🏻

Today my new paper was published in Plos One. High-resolution Neolithic life history reconstructions using Incremental dentine, bone collagen, and multi-enamel sampling! I'm really pleased with this one! journals.plos.org/plosone/articl… BB-LAB Archaeology, Environmental Changes & Geo-Chemistry

Just published in Science Magazine: ancient proteins show that the Penghu 1 mandible from Taiwan belongs to a male Denisovan. They weren't just in Siberia or Tibet. Open access article: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc… #HumanEvolution #Denisovan #Paleoanthropology #AncientProteins

Starting! This is exciting. Looking forward to the next years! SHADOWS - Exploring Human and Animals in the Past HEAS Vienna
