Hi Mark,
Congratulations. Very interesting. I with a student of mine have devised
accurate field microscopic method for identifying the source plant material
for desiccated baskets from Egypt. Is there a chance that we can till
contribute a paper?
Best regards to you and family,
Ksenija

This conference (& the exhibition, which opens today) might be of interest
to people working on plant materials. Among many others, I'll be at the
conference, talking about the botany of baskets.

Dear Colleagues
The AHRC funded research project Beyond the Basket began in 2009. Its aim
is to investigate the place of basketry in human culture. It will
culminate in a major exhibition Basketry: Making Human Nature at the
Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts and the University of East Anglia,
Norwich, from 8th February - 22nd May 2011. To coincide with this event we
are organising an international conference, entitled Basketry and Beyond:
Constructing Cultures and scheduled for 14th - 16th April 2011 also at
UEA.
