I've written before about a recent whale vertebra that someone had dropped into a lake far from the sea in northern Sweden. This past summer, fishermen trawling off the country's southern coast caught two old whale bones, and they've turned out to belong to a grey whale, a species that's been extinct in the Atlantic since the 17th century. An unidentified whale beached itself and died in the area in 1709. Radiocarbon will tell if the newly found bones are likely to belong to that animal.

A recurring theme here on Aard is my complaints about how useless certain kinds of higher education is if you want a job. For a change, let's take a look at what kind of degree is most likely to get you a job in Sweden over the coming decade. The Swedish National Agency for Higher Education has just published a study that offers data on this very issue. Here are the degrees where there will be a labour shortage in Sweden for the foreseeable future!
Need I point out that most of these jobs are relatively poorly paid compared to others that presuppose a university degree, and that most are not perceived as high-status? The only real exception, to my knowledge, is dentistry. But all of them will support you and your kids quite handsomely. And most of them look to me like they'd be quite fun.

För er som är intresserade av att arbeta utomlands och med humanosteologi/gravarkeologi finns nu tillfälle i Belgien. Om du är intresserad kontakta Katrien Van de Vijver på nedanstående mailadress för mer information.
Dear All,
I am currently working as an on site physical anthrologist on the excavation of the Medieval and post-Medieval cemetery of the Cathedral of St. Rumbold in Mechelen, Belgium. There is a huge amount of work and little time, since we are expected to find between 2000 and 4000 inhumations. We have already found some very interesting burials, including a number of multiple burials. The excavation will run until the end of October 2010. I would like to appeal to any volunteers or students who would like to expand their experience of excavating (a lot of) human remains. Unfortunately we are unable to offer any remuneration for the work, travel costs or accomodation, although we could send you a list of places for accomodation and there is a youth hostel not very far from the site.
If you are interested, please contact me at katrien.vandevijver[delete_this_at]mechelen[dot]be or katvdv83[delete_this_at]hotmail[dot]com.
