This week #PALaEoScot has been testing this wee rock shelter, hopeful for signs of Scotland’s earliest archaeology. So far just some cracking lithology (literally) and a very friendly dog - but watch this space! 🦴 🦌 🦣 🪨 with @mesodeeside @UKRI_News

Alicia is spending lots of time getting to know the animals of the Assynt bone caves - one of the most important Late Pleistocene sites in Scotland. Their will help us understand not only what species are represented but also help us understand how the deposits were formed 🦌 🐻.
First time using the Hirox microscope at @NtlMuseumsScot 🤓🔬 .Here is an image of manganese dendrites on a Late Pleistocene bone that I took while testing the camera 🦴🌑 😍.@PrehistoricEdge

‘Fishier than the average bear’ - isotope data may point to polar bears in the Inchnadamph bone caves prior to the last glaciation maximum 🐻❄️.
Read about our fishy bears from the Assynt bone caves that roamed north-west Scotland 40,000 years ago - we aren’t sure if they are polar bears yet, but luckily the press are 😅
