Crops

Sydney Hunter (CAS’19) (from left), Madeline Duppenthaler (GRS’19), Brown University student Harper Dine, and Archaeolgy Lab manager Kali Wade separate seeds from chaff for a paleoethnobotany class. They then studied the seed residue under a microscope in the lab to compare the effectiveness of different methods farmers traditionally used to gather seeds from whole plants.
