Possibly Ph.D.?

After a nice and quiet winter holiday, things have suddenly start happening again. This coming Saturday I'm off to Cambridge for some sightseeing. It was meant to be a PZG trip, but they managed to double book and the others couldn't cancel. So I might as well use the train tickets, even if I'm sure Cambridge is much lovelier when it's spring/summer than in early February. It's going to be fun. Despite having lived in the UK for quite some time, I never seem to get around to do proper sightseeing. Admittedly, many places requires a car, but most (larger) towns are easily accessible with train or coach. Perhaps I should set my summer mission to visit Canterbury, now that Cambridge will be ticked off the list?

The most important thing happening right now is the announciation of doctoral studentships at Lund University in Sweden: one in general archaeology, one in historical archaeology and one in osteology. I'm going to apply (I'd be a fool not to), but I haven't quite worked out the subject yet. Something following up on my tanning essay/bone working in urban early Medieval/Medieval/Post-medieval northwestern Europe, but as you can understand, I'm going to have to severely narrow it down. Wish me luck!

Ooh, good luck! Would you be writing it in English or Swedish?

I have no idea. On one hand, if I'm dealing with Swedish/Scandinavian sites it would make sense to write in Swedish, but on the other hand, writing in English would reach another (possibly wider) audience. I think that's one of those questions that will have to wait until I've been accepted (if that happens, of course) and had a chat with my supervisor.
