  People and Plants is a two-day Texas Archeology Academy to learn how to recover plant remains from archeological sites and how to interpret their past roles in human society through historical accounts, experimentation, and traditional knowledge.

The course will include a brief overview of the many subdisciplines of archeobotany, how each contributes to reconstructions of past practices, and the strengths and drawbacks of each.

  Class time will be split between a traditional classroom and a ranch near Kerrville where participants will help construct an earth oven, make medicine, and learn to read plants. The class will conclude by opening the earth oven and enjoying the foods we’ve cooked.
