Archaeobotany Workshop
Learn the basics of archaeobotanical practice on archaeological seed samples
Join Archaeobotany Workshop by Dr. Alice Wolff at HCA
In this workshop, we will be learning the basics of archaeobotanical practice and identification, looking at cereals, legumes, and weed seeds from plants found in Scotland and northern England. Participants will have the opportunity to get hands-on experience with samples from a medieval castle excavation.
