Last year the Time Team and friends excavated a double burial in an Anglo-Saxon cemetery in Cherington. This was a follow on from a previous dig where, on the last day of course, they found the sword the young boy was holding.
ADNA analysis has shown that the young boy and teen girl buried together were siblings, and the excavation shows they were likely buried at the same time.

Interest and registration form for PI speed networking for April 13th, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM CEST The following PIs are open to meeting with interested junior researchers (prospective masters, PhDs, postdocs, etc.) to discuss anything under the sun (but mainly background, research interests, info about the lab environment/supervision styles, potential projects etc.) -- This is meant to be an informal chat, like those you can have during a conference rather than an interview or anything like that. Here is a list of the PIs participating and some brief information about them: - Assoc. Prof. Laura Weyrich (MicroARCH Lab, Pennsylvania State University, https://microarchlab.github.io/index.html) - Asst. Prof. Maanasa Raghavan (GenSCAPE Lab, University of Chicago, https://www.genscape-lab.com/) - Dr. María Ávila-Arcos (International Laboratory for Human Genome Research, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, https://liigh.unam.mx/) You can sign up to talk to more than one PI. However, to allow most participants to meet with the PIs they are interested in, we ask you to select your first choice. When assigning people to the PI's time slots we will prioritize the people that have expressed to meet a PI as a first choice over people that have not. Slots will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis. Each chat with a PI will last roughly 12/13 minutes. We will send details on how to attend in a follow up email prior to the event confirming who you will talk to and roughly when. Registration closes on Thursday April 9th. Data protection: Please note that submission to Google Forms results in data being stored on Google Servers including those located in the United States. If at any point you wish your responses to be removed from use of the SPAAM community, please contact a member of the steering committee for removal of your personal data.
