Working with the Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance program during their 2019 field season, I was able to collect paleobotanical samples from the Preclassic Maya site of Cahal Pech. Macrobotanical samples were collected using a manual bilge pump flotation machine and microbotanical soil samples were collected for phytolith analysis. The flotation machine, <\/span><span>Artemis VI<\/span><span>, was designed using modified parts from a Boston University model. Throughout the field season I was able to adjust the machine in order to operate efficiently in a tropical environment.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Projects<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bvar.org\/\">Belize Valley Archaeological Reconnaissance Project<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1481,"template":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/archaeology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/16584"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/archaeology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/archaeology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/profile"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/archaeology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1481"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/archaeology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/16584\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16589,"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/archaeology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/profile\/16584\/revisions\/16589"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bu.edu\/archaeology\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16584"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
