We are thrilled to announce our new webinar: “Beyond Dust and Dirt: Invisible Fungal Threats in Archaeological Workplaces”.
(Bio)archaeologists enjoy digging through dirt, but could it pose certain risks? Danger doesn’t solely come from the skeletal remains, it can also arise from the workplace itself. Both can harbor invisible biological hazards long after burial, including fungi 
that may pose risks to researchers during excavation, handling, and laboratory analysis.
Join this lecture to explore the most common sources of fungal contamination, how these organisms survive in archaeological and forensic contexts, and the practical measures that help ensure safe work with skeletal remains. Whether you are a student, (bio)archaeologist, conservator, or forensic specialist, this session will provide valuable insights into an often-overlooked aspect of biosecurity.
