#irishcavebones — Public Fediverse posts

It’s out now, tune in for a listen. I enjoyed sharing my story and my research with @mnutty & @Johnleemedia. On all platforms,

Delighted to be able to give a talk to the local community near Doneraile, Co. Cork, all about our Irish cave research, milestones, current and future work. The story of the long running #IrishCaveBones research project. #caves #archaeology #animalbones #LoveIrishResearch #palaeo

We are starting to prepare 4 papers for 2023 - Exciting times! Can’t reveal anything yet 🤐🙊 I have listened to the bones’ whispers & its time to tell the #IrishCaveBones stories. We can’t wait to share more with you all later. #LoveIrishResearch #INSTAR+ We might just rock the archaeological boat so much it might capsize and we start again 🤭🫣

I asked and was given permission by the Museum staff, to start a full reassessment and (re)identification of all caves’ bones using up to date zooarchaeological recording techniques and creating a unique catalogue of all the bones. And so, the #IrishCaveBones project began… from just a few empty tables in the museum’s stores to tables filled with bones and fragments. #IrishCaveBones #iSciComm #SciCommIE #iSci .... more tomorrow :) (or later today... my natural night owl is showing!)

Back in 2007/8, during research access to the National Museum of Ireland collections for the origins of Irish red deer project (published Carden et al., 2012 bit.ly/3g2CRhm), to the antiquarian archived animal bones excavation from many different Irish caves which were excavated during late 1800s to mid-1900s, I saw mis-identified red deer bones. These were labelled as pig, sheep, horse and reindeer bones. #IrishCaveBones #iSciComm #SciCommIE #iSci

Since it's #ScienceWeek 2022 in Ireland, here's a thread for the next 7 days on the untold Origins Story of the #IrishCaveBones project which I started back in 2007 as a personal project. The origins story starts in 2007 to current day with the milestones and some signfiicant Irish discoveries on the way. As you will find out the #IrishCaveBones project originated out of curiosity and a quest for knowledge on my part and it continued to present day & into the future. #isci #SciComm #SciCommIE
