Day 1 of Understanding Zooarchaeology II. So fantastic to see old friends coming back and new ones arrive. Several past team members have also joined us for the occasion and it has been so great to see them! We started in 2011, and 30 courses and 700 participants on, that same spirit of joy still pervades our work! 😊 We keep saving archaeology against all cultural vandalisms!

This past week our short courses - Understanding Zooarchaeology I and Human and Animal Remains: A Comparative Approach - have been back for the first time since the Covid crisis and the cultural vandalism perpetrated against our department. It was very exciting for us and yet again we had a wonderful group of participants. Well-done to everybody who helped, especially our organisers Lenny Salvagno and Steph Baron, but everybody's contribution was great.
