Really excited to share our new paper on the Early Iron Age mass grave at Gomolava (9th c. BCE), a study I had the pleasure to work on during my PhD with an amazing group of co-authors across multiple disciplines. Open access link: www.nature.com/articles/s41... 🧵👇
What happens when violence targets the future of a society?
Our new paper in Nature Human Behaviour examines one of Europe’s largest prehistoric mass graves and finds evidence for selective violence directed against women and children in the Early Iron Age.

Still shocked and saddened by the closure of Sheffield’s Archaeology Department—a tremendous loss for the archaeological community.
Still shocked and saddened by the closure of the Department of Archaeology at Sheffield University. This decision by the University management is a tremendous loss to the academic community and the preservation of our shared heritage.

Spread the word! @BioinforUA
@msbrinx Thank you for answering all those questions about “Lola”. It’s amazing to see how that story is still making the rounds and it’s been great to work with you and @HenrikSchilling on this 👍 Summer greetings from me, @theisj1 and the rest of the team ☀️
I am hiring a PhD student, 2 postdocs, and a RA to work with me on ancient metagenomics and the population history of the circum-Alpine region @Globe_UCPH. If you’re interested do get in touch. For more info see http://www.alpgen.eu @ERC_Research @HorizonEU

Today marks one year since the University of Sheffield announced the proposed closure of its Department of Archaeology, one of the oldest archaeology departments in the UK. The fight to head off closure goes on: https://www.facebook.com/101359638817096/posts/333869515566106/?app=fbl...
Very happy and excited to have been awarded an ERC Consolidator Grant to delve deeper into the prehistory of Europe and the evolution of the oral microbiome! This would not have happened without the support of @VILLUMFONDEN @VILLUMscience @ERC_Research #ERCCoG #VillumExperiment

9500€ 😳 How much should we ask for next time they ask us to review a paper for them? I think 500€ is appropriate and fits with my financial model https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03324-y
