Our project began in earnest in September this year, but for months before this our pack have been excavating to find bones to help us answer our questions!

Now I'm all caught up...

Day 8 of #Museum30 is #Clothing

When on a dig the #clothing of choice has to be a fetching hi-vis vest - or to really stand out (GEEETIIITTT???) a two piece hi-vis will do the trick! 😄

Sorry a bit late with this one...

Day 7 of #Museum30 is #Number

To date our #pack comprises of:
25 researchers
15 Irish bone assemblages
4 UK bone assemblages
3 schools
& 1 Guardian, Nala, a Caucasian Shepherd dog (see photos of Nala and with her wonderful owner Dermot below)

And worryingly an other worldly being seems to be shadowing us...

Day 6 of #Museum30 is #Hidden

Oh yes I exist, #hidden in the shadows but working with Nala, a Caucasian shepherd dog, to guide the pack.

I have many names- Fenrisúlfr, Hróðvitnir or Vánagandr but you can call me #Fenrir

I'll be watching as the pack discover the answers to their questions #AWOOOOO
