Last week our PI was talked about isotopes, metals and "one health" in Kiel Conference #KielScales25 (Kiel, Germany), and then was invited to present the project ERC PollutedPast at the first Spanish meeting about lead in Roman times: Plvbvm Hispaniae (La Carolina, Jaén). Great week !!!!

Last week our PI has been at the Spanish National Archaeological Museum taking samples for the project "Sounds and interpreters of the past" funded by the Palarq Foundation, led by University of Valladolid. It has been a pleasure to be at the museum, who also participates in this exciting project.

Our study about spectroscopic composition of bones has attracted attention of the Spanish media. www.lavozdegalicia.es/noticia/pont... @erc.europa.eu @cretus.usc.gal @usc.gal

Hoxe traballando así; buceando na información medieval por diversos medios, dende bibliografía (básica se unha quere saber onde buscar) a #Pares do @culturagob.bsky.social onde temos moito dixitalizado; as @pollutedpast-erc.bsky.social on 🔥!!

Esta mañá estiven de representante das compas do @pollutedpast-erc.bsky.social na presentación da exposición sobre o castelo de San Paio de Narla no #IEGPS @csic.es

Our PI has been invited to give the opening lecture of the Unlocking the Past session at the Kiel conference this March 2025. She will talk about toxic metals applied to the One Health concept. www.kielconference.uni-kiel.de

A new article from the PollutedPast team, led by Marta Colmenares Prado as part of her thesis. Here we show compositional aspects of archaeological bone. @cretus.usc.gal www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

New equipment for our white laboratory: a freeze dryer to avoid cross contamination!! #metalpollution #metals #archaeology #arqueologicaUSC #ercconsolidatorgrant

During 2024 our new PollutedPast clean laboratory has been built, conditioned and equipped to analyze low trace metals and organic compounds such as collagen and bioapatite.

The PollutedPast team need to detect traces of mercury in human remains and natural archives, for this we use DMA mercury analyzer. Furthermore, thanks to GAIN-Xunta de Galicia, we have been able to incorporate a new equipment for our white laboratory: a freeze dryer to avoid cross contamination!!

El 13 de diciembre a las 10:30 h. Aránzazu Fernández-Quintás, colaboradora del grupo EcoPast e investigadora postdoctoral del proyecto ERC PollutedPast, impartirá el Seminario doctoral "San Clodio do Ribeiro: 100 años de historia a través de la documentación", organizado por IEGPS - CSIC.

PollutedPast project is a ERC Consolidator Grant to establish the impact to environmental metal pollution in ancient populations. Our team is working in the Environmental Archaeological and Anthropological Unit of the CRETUS building in Santiago de Compostela.
