Goodbye Prof.
Today I am saddened by the news of this legend, Prof. Tim Darvill, passing. I've had the privilege to meet and work for him only briefly at the Sisters Long Barrow excavation, one of the coolest, most interesting digs I've ever been on, Thank you Tim.

I had such a fun time at @ArchAncHistLeic @uniofleicester !!! Thank you to the lovely people of @TobacHistory for having me! It was great to see you again 😊
Time to section some teeth now 💃🤩🦷

It turns out...Komodo dragons have iron-coated teeth!

Their serrations and tips pop into the mouth with an orange hue. Using different techniques, we show that these iconic lizards have special iron-rich coatings on each tooth, keeping them razor sharp!

Closing a pretty horrible week with a sea urchin's tooth cross section has uplifted my mood quite a bit

I had an amazing time at the #EAA2023 today! And got to finally know in person the lovely people of @TobacHistory !! So many interesting topics and all in such a wonderful location! How I've missed archaeology... 😍🥹

As it turns out, smoking alters the normal cementum growth pattern, and Valentina was able to distinguish active smokers and people who had smoked in the past.
And due to the growth rate of the cementum, she was also able to use this method to estimate age!

@TobacHistory Thank you for having me 😊🙏
