The LOCO project is looking for 2 PhDs and 2 Post-docs in (bio-)archaeology, history, geochemistry, and digital humanities. This joint project between VUB, KUL, and UGent looks at the mobility of people, materials, and ideas in the Low Countries. Apply before 30 April 2025 😀

So excited to share our accepted manuscript! It sets up a dicot phytolith baseline for NW Europe.
Phytolith researchers working on reference materials know how time-consuming this type of work is 🥵, I hope it will be useful to many.
Happy reading soon and feel free to reach out!
🚨 New paper alert! 🚨
(1/5) Excited to share that our latest paper on dicotyledon phytoliths in NW Europe can now be found here! 🌱🔬 This study fills a gap by documenting and analyzing phytoliths from 74 dicot species.
If you want a free access link to the paper, contact us! 📩
Welcoming our newest postdoc Dr Danaé Guiserix with a morning of mass spec training!

Great work by @rosaliehermans.bsky.social & the team on developing a dicot phytolith baseline for NW Europe to make it easier accurately interpret archaeological and palaeoecological data!

New paper out by @jbioarch.bsky.social on Legaire Sur (Álava, Spain), a Late Neolithic/Chalcolithic transition burial tomb. This period was a time of notable population expansion, technological advancement, as well as social and economic change.

Last week, @christophe-fire.bsky.social was in Trento, to attend the MOLA workshop, part of Dr Giacomo Capuzzo's MSCA post-doc fellowship. The first exciting results were presented, which use multi-isotope analyses of inhumation & cremations in the Italian Alps from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age.
A recap of this year's research with the FWO. Plant sampling in Latvia with the team (inc. @christophe-fire.bsky.social / @brusselsbioarch.bsky.social ). Bring back the summer!
BBLAB has so much to celebrate! 🎉 @christophe-fire.bsky.social's 10-year milestone at VUB and his recent PhD Supervisor Prize, plus the arrival of new members set the stage for an exciting 2025. Here’s to a year filled with research, isotopes and collaboration!

Megalithism has been repetitively tied to specialised herding economies in Iberia, particularly in the mountainous areas of the Basque Country. Legaire Sur, in the uplands of Álava region, is a recent...
