🚨Just in time for New Year: my book is being released! "The Origins of Agriculture in the Bronze Age Indus Civilization" explores the origins & uses of #plants in the #IndusCivilization. Published with @CambridgeUP , it synthesizes #genetics, #archaeobotany, & #archaeology.

First #archaeobotany practical of the semester! Setting up for learning about #taxonomy, #botanical keys and using the reference collections. Always a good fun intro to the lab.

Super excited to be a part of this paper on Hominin ecological reconstruction that has just been published in @NatureEcoEvo, but even more stunningly proud that my MA student is one of the co-authors!
