Rachel is a neuroethologist and insect brain enthusiast. She received her PhD in Biology from the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, in 2019. Her research aims to understand how sensory cues are detected and processed in the insect brain, and how these cues relate to innate behaviours. With the Oxford Bee Lab, based at the Wytham Field Station, Rachel is interested in understanding what bees can taste in floral nectar and how bees use taste to guide pollination and foraging choices. Using electrophysiology and behaviour, she has explored how bees interact with pesticides and other toxic compounds in nectar, and whether bees can differentiate sugars by taste.

The Ancient World Research Cluster (AWRC) is pleased to announce an upcoming talk, to be given by one of its members Courtney Nimura. Courtney will present her research on Bronze Age archaeology and visual culture in Scandinavia. The event will be catered with tea, coffee, and cakes, and all are welcome. As with all AWRC lunchtime talks, members of the cluster are invited to lunch, which the AWRC has reserved in Hall from 12.30 to 13.15



Courtney tells us that Scandinavian rock art represents the largest body of pictorial evidence from prehistoric Europe. In the Bronze Age of South Scandinavia (c. 1700–500 BC), the rock art is characterised by depictions of watercraft. The majority are close to the coast, so less attention has been paid to similar drawings associated with inland water. In this talk, I introduce the rock art of the region, present the results of fieldwork around two lakes in Sweden, and consider the relationship of inland images to the better-known images on the coast. I will also explore the practicalities of navigating between the sea and the interior, using rock art as a proxy for understanding potential 'maritime places' in inland environments, and put forth different ideas about the function of these sites within wider Bronze Age networks.
