Archaeobotanical laboratories

The laboratory associated with the Archaeobotany unit includes the equipment and material needed for the processing and assembly of pollen and phytolith samples. The unit also has a cold room for the conservation of sedimentary cores and a dirty area where washing and flotation of small volumes for the recovery of carbonized materials can be performed. The Archaeobotany laboratory also houses the reference collections of pollen, wood and charcoal, as well as the materials needed for its preparation (microtome, stove, oven, etc.). In addition, we have optical microscopy equipment, reference atlases for the study of pollen and charcoal and access to Tilia software, specific for the processing of paleobotanical data.
