To celebrate two years of the Brussels Bioarchaeology Lab we are hosting BBLab day where we present and mingle with archaeologists from across Belgium 🦴🦷🌿🐄⚱️🧪🔬🔥

First up we are discussing our research on plants, animals, humans, diet, mobility and funerary practices!

In our second session we are going from Brussels to the World, exploring all the research regions we are working in 🗺

A particularly important part of the study is the careful selection of the samples to which various analytical methods will be applied. Proper sampling contributes to the formulation of innovative archaeological questions related to the use of fire in prehistoric Greece 💀 🔥
