#ThrowbackThursday to my doctoral dissertation. 📸: This is a charred date palm fragment 🌴 I love this picture because you can see the vascular bundles. While I might not visit the microscope as much these days, I always love to nerd about plants 🌱 #archaeology #archaeobotany #anthracology

A piece of copper slag from an ancient mining site in Oman. Slag is a by-product you can get during the metal smelting process. The green specks are some trace bits of copper. #archaeology #archaeometallurgy #ArabianArchaeology #Oman

These are flamingo wall paintings from an old house in an oasis village in Oman. I took this picture while doing #ethnoarchaeology 🏺 there back in 2016. The family left this house after building a new one on the outskirts of the oasis. Why 🦩? They just liked the look of them.
