Keen to hear from anyone interested in developing a project at NCL, with training opportunities in our NeMCAS Earthslides facilities. Lots of potential for combining microscopy and uCT e.g. sediments, artefacts, plant materials 🌱🏺💩 & collabs with regional GLAM partners

Our excavation at the Ripari Alti in Val di Lamen (Dolomiti National Park) has come to an end. We found significant evidence of human occupation between the late Neolithic and the Copper Age, as well as layers that suggest phases of abandonment.

Check out our latest paper on the early medieval site of Busa delle Vette (Dolomites). Residue analysis showed that some of the pots were used to prepare millet porridge! Markers of red fruits have also been found. Unina Federico II Archaeology at NCL MUSE_Museum muse.it/home/ricerca-e…

We’ve been exploring how terracing can reduce soil erosion and affect a hydrograph. Thanks to Tim Kinnaird and @Aayushgeo from Earth & Environmental Science, St Andrews and Sam Turner from NU_Landscape for sharing their research from the #TerraSAgE project and helping to test practical activities.

CONGRATULATIONS! 🎉 Well done to everyone waking up to their exam results today, who will be joining us in September? 💃 #WeAreNCL

We got an interview! Dr David Walsh stopped by to talk about the Cult of Mithras. Dr. Walsh educates us on the particulars of the cult and clears up a lot of urban legends about it. This is a great episode! bullcitycoordinators.com/2024/08/15/cla…
