Preparing my slides for #IMC2025, where I'm presenting on wounding and healing medieval warhorses for @medica.bsky.social panel #S1214. Want to know how to stitch up a horse after a medieval battle? Of course you do.

At the top is a picture with the following description: Two Sennen (alpine herders) with their cow herd. By Niklaus von Riedt, 1581 (Bernisches Historisches Museum,
Sammlung Wyss; picture by Stefan Rebsamen).

Below that is the title of the paper that I'll present at the IMC next month: Shepherding knowledge: Techniques of animal husbandry
and environmental adaptation by alpine villagers.

#medievalsky: If you don't know what to attend at the #imc2025 on thursday around noon: I'll talk about how people in the Alps managed to transmit vital knowledge about natural & legal landscapes, ranging from the mundane to cases like cows gobbling up iron ore: imc-leeds.confex.com/imc/2025/pre...

Always keep learning.

I wanted to analyze how special it is that after hundreds of centuries we can find textiles made and worn by our predecessors preserved in dirt.

I created an experiment. Buried. Waited. Unearthed.
Analyzed and shared.

And now in June 2025 I will be in Leeds, sharing.
