First week as a 27 y/o and first time ever submitting an application for a PhD position ๐
Itโs been hectic, people!
But, I got there in the end thanks to the best prospective supervisors @ARCHAEOfelix @natbrusgaard
Now, we wait ๐ฌ๐ค๐ป
I have no way to get in touch with Keanu Reeves
I invite him to have a frank conversation with me about archaeology
I believe that after a chat, where I answer his questions & show him how archaeology works, I could convince him real archaeology is better than this fake stuff
It was great to meet Antiquity author Nathalie Brusgaard in person at #EAA2024!
Check out her article on early animal management at 4240โ4050 BC Swifterbant ๐ https://t.co/4ESKw0P8mf
#EAA2024 was a blast. I was also very happy to leave with a copy of the June Antiquity issue our article was published in thanks to @AntiquityJ! Always nice to see your article in print ๐
It was a lot of fun presenting our elk project at #EAA2024 at the Bronze Age animal session organised by @ANSOC_ERC. Such a great session too, I left feeling very inspired! @JoycevanDijk5, Jordy Aal and I will be back with more results soon I hope!
Lovely @EAAPaM social at #EAA2024 last night. I love the yearly moment of catching up with my fellow Stone Age archaeologists. And I'm glad I'm welcome even though I mostly do Neolithic ๐คซ (not my fault, we don't have many Mesolithic bones in Holland!)
#EAA2024 off to a great start yesterday with a visit to the amazing Roman forum with @Cetoarchaeology followed by the welcome reception there. Though I think the organisers underestimated how many archaeologists would want to have a drink in this spectacular location ๐
Haven't been very active on here (Twitter isn't what it used to be...) but I'm getting connected again for @archaeologyEAA conference Rome! Looking forward to hopefully seeing many of you this week?! ๐คฉ
The moment Iโve dreamed of for years is here: my first-ever book is out with @BloomsburyBooks today.
What does the return of #WildBoar to the UK mean for our landscapes, our other wildlife, and us โ and how do the boar live their lives? All is revealed in GROUNDBREAKERS. ๐งต
NEW Archaeologists discover evidence for the earliest cattle herds in northern Europe in the Netherlands, pushing dates for livestock husbandry in northern Europe back by 200 years.
