Prof. Anna Maria Mercuri, from the Lab.of Palynology and Palaeobotany, Dept. Life Sciences of the Univ. of Modena and Reggio Emilia (Italy) will hold the talk:
‘The botanical approach to Archaeobotany: plants behaviour and human adaptation’.
Access the session at this link: https://bit.ly/GIAPseminars2024
Abstract:
The seminar will present the botanical principles governing the production and dispersal of pollen, fruits and wood, and what makes plants excellent bioindicators in ecology and archaeology. Studies in on-site and off-site contexts present very different problems and must be interpreted in substantially different ways; nevertheless, only their integrated study can lead to correct reconstructions of environmental and cultural dynamics. The study of the archaeological context, moreover, offers the possibility of understanding the plant-human relationship in detail, based on the biological characteristics of the two actors and the environmental conditions. Examples will be given from the archaeology of Italian and Saharan sites.
