lying on my stomach, kicking my feet up in the air, smiling at my computer, you look at the monitor and i;m staring at osteoarchaeology and strontium
#my posts#this is so silly but today I've been reminded by how insane archaeology is#like I was looking up things about magic medieval deer for my thesis#(if anyone is curious perforated antler tines appear all the time at early med settlements and while they might just be waste#im going to try and argue possibly amulets because penitentials mention hunt rituals and other superstitions include burying in deer skin e#) and i was reminded how the antlers used in the abbots bromley horn dance were radiocarbon dated to the 11th c#adn now (becasue im sorry i have a franklin expedition obsession every 6 months) I was reading recent articles about the recovered bodies#and how a mix of strontium analysis and facial reconstruction has been able to identify two of the individauls' remains#its absolutely insane also they're finding hair in the waterlogged ships?? i can't wait for reports to start being published#ahhh just!! i could never do science archaeology it but i want to kiss every science-side archaeologist#thank you for your service and finding such cool cool things which I can read about!!!
