Massive congrats to @Christophe-fire.bsky.social on winning a VUB Brussel Excellent PhD Supervisor Award. Your support and enthusiasm mean the 🌍 to the team 🔥 @amgc-vub.bsky.social

So excited to share our accepted manuscript! It sets up a dicot phytolith baseline for NW Europe. Phytolith researchers working on reference materials know how time-consuming this type of work is 🥵, I hope it will be useful to many. Happy reading soon and feel free to reach out!

The first Belgium’s strontium isoscape is out now! Amanda Sengeløv & the team provide the first 604 plant samples from 220 locations, with more data coming soon! Paper here👇 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Dataset available on @isoarch.bsky.social 👇https://doi.org/10.48530/ISOARCH.2024.001

New BB-LAB paper out 👍🏻 Marta Hlad and the team identified and characterised patterns in cremation analysis practices through an online survey of those working on cremated human remains 👇 journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Time & Space! At this years Wetenschapfestival Brussel, our @amgc-vub.bsky.social team presented themes of both archaeology and cosmo chemistry under one roof, presenting samples, creating art, and giving out free (temporary) tattoos 🦷🦴🔥☄️🌘🪨🚀 Well done to the whole team!

Hello! Brand new to Bluesky so I thought I'd make a post sharing a new-ish paper of ours in IJPS on unraveling a bit more of the deceptively complex diversity of sycamores/planetrees in ancient western North America. www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/... Print version out January 2025! 🍂🍁

PHYTO-CHAT-L, the new email discussion list for anything #phytolith related is now up and running. Fill out the subscription form with your name, affiliation, and email address, and you will be subscribed to the list: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F... #phytoliths #archaeobotany #paleoecology

So great to see that we have our phytolith community on Bluesky now, thank you Martin for creating this starter pack!
