April 14th Meeting: Rudy Fecteau on Plants in Archaeology

This presentation will illustrate how archaeobotanists go about collecting, recovering, and interpreting plant remains from archaeology sites.  

• Archaeobotanical material from Archaic sites through to Late Woodland sites   
• Results of analyses of pre-contact and Euro-Canadian sites in southern Ontario
