Finally “in the field”:
In August, PhD student Jennifer Laughton spent three weeks in Oxford for dental data collection, spending numerous hours measuring and scanning Baikal and Zvejnieki teeth, in a space at ORAU kindly provided and supported by Dr. Rick Schulting.
Having switched from bones to teeth due to the pandemic, she will be undertaking three dental anthropology projects, one of which involves studying interproximal wear facet size changes on teeth to assess dietary changes odontometrically.
While in Oxford, she was also able to have lunch with her MSc supervisor, met a friend’s new baby, visited where she used to live, and made several new fleecy friends.
Note from Jennifer about her fun photos:
1. Working in the laboratory at University of Oxford.
2. The dinosaur is at the Museum of Natural History and is an Edmontosaurus! 😀
3. The one of me in the lovely pink vest was me volunteering at Oxford parkrun; I am the organizer of Edmonton’s parkrun.
4. The church is the one at Magdalen College Chapel, viewed from the botanic gardens.
5. Sheep near Shipton-on-Stour, Warwickshire.
