🎉 Thrilled to share our new paper just published in @PLOSONE!
In this study we explored how weather & seasonality impact cremation conditions using experimental archaeology, FTIR-ATR, and isotope analysis.

@AMGC_VUB @BrusselsBioarch
Thank you @BrusselsBioarch for joining our final TEFRA conference!
This weekend our team traveled to Thessaloniki to celebrate the end of the @TEFRA_auth project with two days of exciting conferences! 🔥🔥
The final meeting of the @ELIDEK_HFRI funded @TEFRA_auth project will be held at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece on May 24th and 25th. The project aimed to investigate the use of fire in the manipulation of the deceased in Greek prehistory and protohistory.

Can’t sleep because you keep thinking about how the Romans burned their dead?
Then don't miss our latest paper & download it for free here: authors.elsevier.com/a/1kzX5…
The Annual Meeting of the Belgian School at Athens
@Christophe_Fire will talk about “Mobility and funerary practices in Prehistoric Greece through the lens of isotope research”.
The cover shows the Pre- and Proto-palatial tholos tomb cemetery of Koumasa, Crete.
Οur open access paper «Experimental insights into different funerary burning conditions on Crete island, Greece» is now available in JAS: Reports
If you investigate cremations, have a look to the different burning dynamics that can affect a burning event

🔥 Burning news🔥
I’m thrilled to share that my latest research has been published in JAS: Reports!
In this study, I tackled a burning question: Does sieving actually contribute to the fragmentation of burned human remains?

If you are interested in #cremations and especially the study of burnt bones, this paper may be useful for your research. 💀 🔥
In this paper, we present the guidelines we have been using when dealing with burned human remains . 🥼
