PCA’s Head of Environment Jane Wheeler will be giving a talk to COLAS on 20 September titled “The secret micro-archaeological world of pollen & other pesky palynomorphs, including recent work in London.”
Palynomorphs, including pollen and spores, are critical for fully understanding past environments. Jane has been using these micro-tools in the post-excavation analysis of recent PCA London sites to reveal ancient landscapes and how people interacted with their environments.
By analyzing microscopic traces in sediment, Jane shows us how palynology helps unlock stories of climate, vegetation, and human activity—stories too small for the naked eye.
You can either attend in person at the church of St Olave, 8 Hart Street, London EC3R 7NB, or online by registering on Eventbrite (click to register).
