Dear colleagues,
I would like to call your attention to the recent publication of
"Phytoliths : A Comprehensive Guide for Archaeologists and Paleoecologists"
by Dolores Piperno (Altamira Press). The book represents a long-awaited
up-dated summary of the last two decades of intense phytolith research in
the Americas and across the globe. I think you will find the detailed
explanation of field and laboratory techniques and interpretation of
phytoliths assemblages extremely useful for both under and post-graduate
teaching and training. New students will also benefit from this superbly
illustrated volume making it easier for them to learn the first steps of
identification.
Best regards, Jose Iriarte.
