Hello Meriel
I've finally come up with a poster title if you are still open to them.
'Horse manure at Victoria Square, Belfast – a study of the waterlogged
archaeobotanical remains'.
Summary: This poster presents the findings from waterlogged bulk samples
taken from the site of Victoria Square, Belfast, by Archaeological
Development Services (ADS). Sampling of this post-medieval site accessed
well-preserved archaeobotanical material in the vicinity of a horse
market. The analysis of these straw lenses has found the preservation of
diverse archaeobotanical assemblages, originating from straw flooring,
horse manure and market detritus. The material encompasses the
cultivated taxa of cereals, flax, hop and hemp seed. The aim of the
poster is to provide an example of recent environmental sampling of
sites, and analysis of the material with regard to documentary evidence
and analysis with contemporary sites.
Let me know if you need anything else from me
Thanks
Alys
