No one has time to blog all the time or to blog every new archaeobotanical study that deserves it, or relevant genetic study. Some I have set up some scoop.it pages to stash links to sources and citation of interest when I simply don't have time to blog, or have not gotten a chance to read them. Suggestion of sources are welcome. One scoops page that I have been trialling for a while is one rice origins and culture history, and the other is more general on archaeobotany and domestication. I also do one on Nubian archaeology, since I teach in this area.... By the way, for those wondering the image at the left is a waterlogged Euryale ferox seed from Tianluoshan (Neolithic Zhejiang, China).
Some thoughts on recent publications in archaeobotany and agricultural origins. Opinions and views on the evolution and history of crops. Memorials of archaeobotanists we have lost. The author's research has previously been supported by grants from the ERC and NERC.
