Hi everyone,
As I mentioned in our lab meeting today, I will be presenting my postdoctoral research on Thursday, 27 February at 5:00 pm (usually it starts around 5:10) as part of the Archaeology and Conservation Research Seminar Series and all of you are warmly invited to attend. My talk is of course co-authored with Richard Madgwick and entitled "Reconstructing Prehispanic Maya Life and Death: An iso-histological study of diet, mobility, and mortuary practices". This talk provides a primer of Maya archaeology and how I integrate multiple methods, including strontium isotope analysis carried out in CELTIC, to understand the lives and deaths of prehispanic Maya people, including if bodies were moved AFTER burial!
The seminar series is organised by Gwen Maurer and Eric Nordgren and is held in John Percival (JP) room 2.03 on Thursdays. I've attached a map of how to get to JP from Main, and once you go through the rotating door (or the side door, your preference), take the stairs to the right of the porter's lodge (hidden behind a wall before you go into the cafe) up to floor 2, then go left and room 2.03 is the first door on the left. If you are unable to attend in person but would still like to see the talk, you are also very welcome to contact Gwen or Eric about a live zoom link or a copy of the recording.
Wine will be served before the talk, and I welcome you to join us at the Pen and Wig afterwards.
I'm very much looking forward to sharing my research into Maya people and archaeology and am looking forward to seeing you there 🙂
Best,
Asta

Hi all,
As you are well aware I’m leaving the university in March. I thought we could go and be social on the evening of the 21st Feb? I’m going to see if tiny rebel will have us but I’ll send out more info when I’ve actually spoken to them.
Please mention to anyone I may have missed!
Cheers,
Edward

Hi all,
Please can nobody touch the Neoma PC (or the instrument itself) please. There are some watch monitors running currently that need to remain undisturbed for the next 24 hours.
Cheers,
Edward

Hi everyone,
Just to let you guys know due to the work on the roof from the 24th-28th the stills won't be operational for that week. A new run literally just finished an hour ago, so there are 2 bottles of nitric upstairs (just brought a new one downstairs), and 2 bottles of HCL. I won't be able to run the stills until the 3rd of March, and that will take another 4 days to complete the run. Please take that into consideration for your upcoming procedures, the new HCL bottle I brought down yesterday afternoon is nearly empty so make sure the 2 bottles upstairs will be enough for your work 🙂
This isn't related to the AHU but some of you might have noticed I changed the labels on the bottles to be colour-coded. Single distilled is now green, double distilled is yellow, and HF remains red. This is to avoid confusion if in the future double distillation is done upstairs 🙂
Thanks everyone! Have a good one 🙂
Cheers,
Sofiya

Hi all,
Estates need to access the roof on Thursday 27th and Friday 28th Feb. This means that the lab will be closed on those dates. Please rearrange your bookings accordingly.
Note this will also affect the extraction to the instruments. The TIMS remains usable.
Cheers,
Edward

Hi all,
Tomorrow morning there will be an engineer from Anton Paar coming to install a new microwave digestion system in the clean lab. Be aware that it’s going to be a bit busy in the lab during that time.
