Hair ice on dead wood surrounded by dead leaves (hair ice: ice in very narrow "hairs", that has its freezing properties changed by a gas produced by a specific fungus)
Very fascinated by the rare occurrence of hair ice I had the pleasure to enjoy today in our woods. It occurs when a log is infested with a specific fungus at a bit below freezing point, as the gas produced by the fungus change the crystallisation properties of water

Btw. I'm looking for a PhD student in zooarchaeology with an interest in stable isotopes.

Ours is hogging the space under our tiled stove meant to store fire wood since heating season started π
A nice read on #glacialarchaeology in the #Alps from the BBC.

Seems oddly apropos π
There is quite a good one called "The Toilet - An unspoken History" which appears to be available here: www.dailymotion.com/video/x72cq0j
Thank you! It may be of use to you if you're interested in investigating age-dependent morbidity, in particular concerning effects of vitamin D deficiency on childbirth and childhood morbidity/mortality. Feel free to contact me with any questions regarding the application, if the need should arise π
Happy to share my paper for everyone interested in #demography providing a tool to estimate #mortality in #archaeological populations without assumptions about patterns of mortality from imprecise age estimations

Hi there! Physical anthropologist and archaeologist here.
I have fun looking at messy data and trying to make heads or tails of it.
