  • Putting Archaeobotany Under the Microscope: A Case Study for Increased Use of Starch-Grain and Residue Analyses on the North Coast of Peru
    PROJECT Uploaded by: Guy Duke

However, despite the richness of the macrobotanical record, the combination of arid conditions and the nature of many plants, such as potatoes and beans – which are consumed in their entirety – macrobotanical remains can only tell us so much. In this paper, we discuss some methodological issues...

Digital repositories provide a home for static collections, but are not ideal for dynamic collections generated and evolving throughout the research...
