by
Emily Johnson, UC Santa Barbara PhD Student
Saturday, April 13, 2024
2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. PST

Emily will discuss her research of ancient plant remains in Guatemala and Belize. The result of this research is to better understand the agriculture of this Central American region and how practices may have changed over a period of 2000 years. Emily received a scholarship from SAS to collect soil samples and then analyze them for macrobotancial remains such as starch granules and phytoliths.

The presentations will be conducted via TEAMS. The webinar will start at 2:00 PM PT and formally conclude at 3:30 PM.
