First #archaeobotany practical of the semester! Setting up for learning about #taxonomy, #botanical keys and using the reference collections. Always a good fun intro to the lab.

Final paper session of #IWGP2025 in #Groningen and we're continuing with domestication! Rethinking some theory, exploring South American cotton, the origins of poppy and looking to Neltuma chilensis management.
