A Joint Effort

A @UoS_Engagement project led by @Emma_Velden & @CSHoggard exploring kneecaps past & present | @sotonarch | SketchFab:

Researchers @emma_velden and @CSHoggard recorded this patella by taking 76 photographs from a range of angles! 📸

They tell us more about @UoSJointEffort, their project exploring knees past and present through 3D imaging, in the latest #MOLAblog: https://t.co/iHWb8L9dEK 🦵

Also, a huge shout-out and #FF (is that still a thing?) to our incredible team: @emma_velden @CSHoggard @Sonia_Zak @CherylMetcalf @Sarah_Y_Stark @swgdavies @kayleasaurus @dickinsonlab @UoSEngineering @sotonarch @TherapyUos @HumanitiesUoS

In January we were fortunate to spend a week at @MOLArchaeology, exploring the potential of sexing human remains through patella morphology. Now you can read more about this project in a blog post on their website (see link below!) @sotonarch @BOSotonUni @CAHO_uk @UoS_Engagement

Dear friends,

Find attached a link to freely download our latest article on the 3DGM of the el sidrón patellae. Con @PaleoNicole

@MOLArchaeology @sotonarch @BOSotonUni @UoS_Engagement @unisouthampton @Sketchfab And here is the left and right patella of MRH_14_222, side-by-side. 🎉🎉

Bored this Thursday? Check out this patella we recorded this week, demonstrating bipartite patella (Type 3), a congenital condition where the patella fails to fuse! https://t.co/fKUCZzbEAZ @MOLArchaeology @sotonarch @BOSotonUni @UoS_Engagement @unisouthampton @Sketchfab

@CSHoggard @SeidenstickerD @UoSJointEffort @MOLArchaeology @UoS_Engagement @emma_velden @sotonarch Thanks for the shout out! You can download a few versions of the scale on my website: https://t.co/R5DoB6qQn4. Note that newer versions of Agisoft Metashape don't seem to like the grid pattern as much, which can lead to alignment issues.

Today our Osteology Team hosted researchers from @sotonarch (@CSHoggard and @emma_velden) whose project 'A Joint Effort' explores knees past and present through 3D imaging, with a view to generating models to improve sex classification scores in osteology! https://t.co/xMFgktsPuZ

[A Joint Effort @UoSJointEffort]

58 patellae, one camera, a whopping 4319 photos, 18 hours and now two rather tired people! A huge thanks to @MOLArchaeology and @UoS_Engagement for making this visit possible! @CSHoggard @emma_velden @sotonarch #jointeffort

[A Joint Effort @UoSJointEffort]

Our new base for the next few days while the @sotonarch #JointEffort team (@CSHoggard and @emma_velden) start recording the kneecap archaeological training dataset at the @MOLArchaeology headquarters! More pics to follow!

[A Joint Effort @UoSJointEffort]

Wishing everyone a belated Happy Knee Year! 🎉🎉🎉@BOSotonUni @CAHO_uk @sotonarch #jointeffort (blame @CSHoggard...)

A final knees up before the Christmas break, with baking and G&T! 🎉 @CSHoggard @emma_velden #bioarchaeology #venus #figurine #archaeology #paleo #kneecaps #baking

OUR PROJECT LEAD @emma_velden HAS ONLY GONE AND WON AN AWARD FOR COMMUNICATING OUR PROJECT AT THE #HumanWorlds FESTIVAL!!! 🎉🎉🎉 @sotonarch @CAHO_uk @BOSotonUni @unisouthampton @HumanitiesUoS @UoS_Engagement 🍾🍾🍾

[A Joint Effort @UoSJointEffort]

++ @UoS_Engagement of course!

This model was produced using a Canon EOS 4000D Digital SLR Camera with 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 Lens, the setup mentioned in previous tweets, and Agisoft Metashape Professional.

Our first 3D model is now on @Sketchfab!🎉 A patella (right-sided) from the Great Chesterford cemetery site in Essex, produced by @CSHoggard and @emma_velden. https://t.co/ywgClDsE2k @unisouthampton @UoS_Engagement @sotonarch @CAHO_uk
