@Von_Aurre Ahsoka takes her job as new #archaeologykitten quite serious: after research into Napoleontic history, she decided to delve into #dendrochronology through @epispheric's book "Tree story". Both kitten and human approved!

[Ali Jelene Scheers @Ali_Jelene]

The individual itself was sadly badly preserved but I managed to estimate an age between 14 and 17, with a height of 1m60.
I left the company that excavated here a while ago, so I cannot say if they've done any follow-up analyses.

Today in: life works in mysterious ways
5 years ago #OnThisDay, I was called to a site in Ghent (Belgium) to excavate an individual found face-down in a medieval slaughter pit.

[Ali Jelene Scheers @Ali_Jelene]

Not knowing that, 5 years later, I'd move to an apartment on that exact site. Now every time I look out the window, I'm reminded of this individual.

Arriving at the #Varusslacht museum in #Kalkriese to discover we're a few weeks too early for the interesting stuff.. 🤓
Jk, the permanent exhibition was interesting too (although not a lot of English explanations, which was a pity!)

5 years ago a handsome archaeologist critiqued my skeleton excavation speed. Couldn't let him get away with that, so we're getting married next year! 💀 🩶

Mi novia me acaba de recordar que hace exactamente cinco años le hablé por primera vez. La frase fue:

Sí, muy bonito, pero vas muy despacio.
(Todo esto hablando sobre un esqueleto medieval y su excavación)

Siempre fui un romántico 🥰

@LaraWeissRMO @polimi @RM_Oudheden @MuseoEgizio Can vouch for its deliciousness!

@archaeocarrie Are these not vampires?! /s

[Ali Jelene Scheers @Ali_Jelene]

@LaraWeissRMO @RM_Oudheden @MuseoEgizio As a true Belgian I should add that these are not Belgian chocolate! 🙃

Friends who are killing it! Go @SarahAInskip!

Can't believe the 2022 season in #saqqara is almost done. Read this week's #diggingdiary (and the previous ones!) below 👇🏼

#saqqara 2022: an impression! Love the video which captures the excavation (and our #archaeologyoffice!) perfectly - all credits to Nicola Dell'Aquila from @MuseoEgizio

@LaraWeissRMO @Demetra84056965 @MuseoEgizio @RM_Oudheden It does create a traffic jam when we get out of the door.. And a gaper's block ('kijkfile') as well (but the morning commute has never been better!) 😁

[Ali Jelene Scheers @Ali_Jelene]

@LaraWeissRMO @RM_Oudheden @MuseoEgizio Actually that's a picture by @polimi's own Alessandro Mandelli!

[Ali Jelene Scheers @Ali_Jelene]

@PierreSpaninks @LaraWeissRMO @RM_Oudheden @MuseoEgizio Ik zal 'm insturen! 😁 Dank voor de tip

[Ali Jelene Scheers @Ali_Jelene]

All in a day's work 😉

[Lara_Weiss@RPM @LaraWeissRPM]

Individuals were once buried in our tombs. @Ali_Jelene studies all #HumanRemains excavated by the #LeidenTurinExpeditiontoSaqqara. Here #photographer Nicola Dell’Aquila documents a skeleton. @RM_Oudheden @MuseoEgizio #officelife #diggingdiary #bones #excavation #SaqqaraTombs

Morning commute got a whole lot cuter
