Lab work can be very hypnotic. Our volunteer Lingwa Eric Shi is trying to extract 14C datable protein from tooth enamel. Slow and patient, but very exciting!

How time flies. 12 years ago at Oxford and the Encaenia garden party at Worcester College with great friends and colleagues, and late and missed friends (Iain Morley). Nicole Boivin McCullagh Group Katerina Douka Lisa Bendall + I think Michael Petraglia must have taken the pic?!

Our summer work experience students from KingAlfredsAcademy catalogued, recorded & conserved hundreds of samples from a very special #forensicscience archive. They did such a great job!

Really enjoying seeing everyone's updates from #EAA2024. Hard to imagine a more incredible stage for a conference & the delegates get to enjoy a welcome event this afternoon in the Forum! Side-note: An archaeology conference back-up band for key speakers should be standard.

When one picture has the power to completely halt your scroll! Great work @Oatweet, I can't wait to read this report. #trees #archaeology #heritage #greeninnovation #forest
