Rudy Fecteau explained in detail how the archaeobotanist works to support archaeological excavation and analysis. He presented a well crafted powerpoint show, provided physical samples, a dozen 3'x4' poster panels, and set up a simulated botany lab.
Today this post has two phots for its initial publication. Though the week more photos will be added.

Thanks for posting this Bill.
Congrats Rudy on a stimulating presentation.
It is interesting to note that of all the evidence of wood fibers found on sites, no mention was made of cedar and little if any of elm yet it is understood by most archaeologists and historian that these were the primary building material for most Iroquoian villages.
