Dream of growing up to be Dr. Ellie Sattler of Jurassic Park fame? Curious about how ancient plants can help us understand past peoples, places, and practices? Join us for a relaxed archaeobotany webinar featuring three researchers chatting about what they do, why it matters, and how tiny seeds and charred plant bits can tell surprisingly big stories. This informal session is designed for anyone who’s ever wondered what archaeobotany is and what kinds of questions archaeobotanists help answer about human history, environments, and cultural change. Bring your curiosity! We’ll be asking participants what they’d like to know more about!!
