The Anthropology team visited the excavation site at Barnham, Suffolk last week. An incredibly rich Lower Palaeolithic site with Clactonian archaeology, flora, and fauna, telling us about the lives of Middle Pleistocene Britons.
ALT Eight members of the Anthropology team at the Natural History Museum stand in front of a white shed in an open field. Yellow buckets filled with dirt and mud can be seen in the lower left corner. There is a blue tent and many large oak trees in the background.

We are thrilled to support Dr. Kay Behrensmeyer's amazing project with the @museumsofkenya and the Smithsonian. This taphonomy teaching collection will have a large impact, and we are proud to be part of it!
Today the inventor of bone weathering stages, Kay Behrensmeyer @behrensakb, gave an impromptu short talk on her method of documenting how long bones have been weathering to NMK Osteology staff as part of our @TheLeakeyFndtn-funded taphonomy project at the @museumsofkenya 🤩❤️🦴

What a privilege to have taken part in some of the recent fieldwork at Shanidar Cave, and to see the amazing work of my colleagues showcased in this documentary. I cannot wait to be back in the Zagros mountains for this year's field season!

Incredibly busy night on Wednesday for 'Valentine's at the Museum'. Our Anthropology Scientists [Emma Bird, Lucile Créte, and Karen Swan] met hundreds of couples and chatted all things love, pair-bonding, and mating across the world of primates.
ALT Emma Bird stands in the Marine Reptile gallery of the Natural History Museum, in front of the Giant Sloth skeleton. In front of her is a black table with 8 skulls of Neanderthals and Homo sapiens.
