Massive congrats to Juliet, of @bbkhistorical.bsky.social, on her first publication, documenting the important corpus of bone dolls from Dura-Europos. Juliet's PhD is exploring the archaeology of childhood from the archives of the site. 🥳

For social media we’ll try to edit if we can, or reupload the images with new alt text next time we make a post about the CFP.
Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention, we definitely had alt text prepared and we’ll be careful to make sure it uploads properly next time!

Thanks for pointing this out! We have alt text for any images with text as standard, but for some reason the alt text for these ones hasn’t uploaded properly. In fact, it appears not to have worked on any platform.
Our website will have either alt or accessible text as soon as we can reupload it.
