Plants and People in First Period New England

Guest: Katharine Reinhart A discussion about plant remains in the archaeological record and what they can tell us about the past. The guest, Katharine Reinhart, is an archaeologist and archaeobotanical specialist who talked about the study of macrobotanical remains, including collection and identification, as well as some of her findings from her thesis research on the Waterman House Site in Marshfield, Massachusetts. The house burned down in the mid-1640s, which provided good preservation for plant remains. Topics discussed also included medicinal knowledge and plant use, trade and exchange, cultural identity, and human-environmental interactions.
