Paleoethnobotany: What We Do and How We Do It
Office of Archaeological Studies
12:00 PM - 1:00 PM
Office of Archaeological Studies and Friends of Archaeology Brown Bag Lecture:
Paleoethnobotany can be the least understood and appreciated of the specialist studies within the field of archaeology. This talk will begin with a description of the water separation technique used to retrieve macrobotanical material from soil samples, then a brief description of the most common plants recovered and their uses. Pam will also relate stories of the primary ethnobotanists that collected data on how plants were used, information that paleoethnobotanists still use today to make analogies to infer how people used plants in prehistory.
The Brown Bag talks will take place at the Center for New Mexico Archaeology at 12:00 noon in the CNMA library. Seating is limited. Admission is free.
The Center for New Mexico Archaeology (7 Old Cochiti Road) is located off of Caja del Rio Road, across from Challenge New Mexico on the way to the Santa Fe Municipal Golf Course. Take 599 to South Meadows Road, continue through the traffic circle west along the Frontage Road to Caja del Rio Road.
