| Course Description | This iteration of Lab Techniques in Archaeology will focus on archaeobotanical analysis. We will learn about the recovery and analysis of pollen, starch, phytolith and macrobotanical materials. Students will each work with an assemblage of macrobotanical remains from highland Madagascar and will learn about sampling for plant remains, creating a reference collection, seed and charcoal identification, and analytical techniques. The class has mandatory lab hours (to be arranged) when students will be expected to work on their projects. The course is designed primarily for students in the archaeology major or minor, but is open to other undergraduate and graduate students, with permission. Students are not expected to have prior experience in the lab. |
