The latest piece in my @atlasobscura column 'A Beginner's Guide to the Afterlife' has just been published! This one focuses on burial practices among whaling crews on the remote Svalbard Archipelago!

I'm super chuffed to see my article on this beautiful relief fragment in @McrMuseum published in JAEI. Especially as this was one of the first things @EgyptMcr showed me in the collection 8 years ago when I started at UoM! Thanks for that, Campbell! ☺️ https://t.co/HV53tWeSpd
