Research on the farm. continues, we have completed the Pollen Project and are now planning to use Optical Stimulation Luminescence to date some of the earthwork features such as lynchets and ridge & furrow to see if we can trace the growth of the field system here in the Middle Ages (600-1500 CE).

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.

Global plant domestication session has a couple of papers before lunch at #IWGP2025 in #Groningen. Soybeans in China and enset in Ethiopia are the foci, and how we resolve their origins and spread. #archaeobotany #archaeology #archaeologicalscience

Incredible to be able to see the #Groningen #archaeobotany and #ethnobotany reference collection while at #IWGP2025.
Truly amazing and extensive #seed, wood, pollen and more material. #archaeology #archaeologicalscience

More #food #archaeobotany at #IWGP2025 in #Groningen. Case studies from China, Britain, Slovenia, Iraq and Alaska. Cooking methods, ingredients, and ideas of taste are all 'food for thought'. #archaeology #archaeologicalscience

Food is the theme for today at #IWGP2025 in #Groningen. Terminology, standardisation, experimentation, and methods are the key takeaways. #archaeology #archaeobotany #archaeologicalscience #food
