Spent a couple of inspiring days at @butserfarm with the @school_of_arch MSc Arch Sci students. What a wonderful start to their course. Lots of ideas about organic materials, processing and inbuilt ages. and copper smelting is pretty cool as well! Thank you Therese and Kat.

Do you need funding for 14C dates? Do you want one of these 'targets' to contain your sample? If so, the next NEIF deadline is rapidly approaching; 9th October. You can even come to the lab and learn how to make a target! @isotopesUK @school_of_arch

Lab work can be very hypnotic. Our volunteer @LingwaShi is trying to extract 14C datable protein from tooth enamel. Slow and patient, but very exciting!

The near complete absence of people during MIS3 in central Spain is being filled; people were visiting the Iberian interior during MIS3 and producing the Aurignacian! Great to see OxA-dates used so nicely for such important sites - by Nohemi Sala @CENIEH.
