A minotaur (bull on top, man below) has four limbs, while a centaur (man on top, horse below) has six limbs, and thus the proof that a horse has two more limbs than a bull does.

Collectin-11 is an immune protein traditionally known for defending against infection that has now been discovered to play a critical role in maintaining healthy bones by supporting normal bone remodeling.

Two Neolithic communities, 4km apart, genetically related — and radically different ideas about how gender should be marked in life and death. New bioarchaeology from Hungary is genuinely strange. #Bioarchaeology #Neolithic #Osteology https://www.anthropology.net/p/what-two-neolithic-cemeteries-in

Hands tell a longer story of human growth than textbooks admit. New research shows metacarpal bones keep thickening well into late adolescence, reshaping how anthropologists define maturity. #BioAnth #HumanEvolution #Osteology https://www.anthropology.net/p/when-bones-keep-growing-what-adolescent

Hey, #osteology folks! Are there any extant #birds with chevrons below the caudals? (Please boost for coverage).

#Introduction - Hi Im Alice. I am a #bioarchaeologist specialised in #osteology, #palaeopathology and #isotope analysis of skeletal remains to research diet and mobility in the past.

I am currently working as a #postdoc on the #FoodCult project, looking into diet and identity in #EarlyModern Ireland.

I am interested in all sorts of areas of #archaeology, including #medieval and #prehistoric Britain. Also #rstats / #Rarchaeology nerd.
