Dear Maria and Raquel,
This is a very interesting initiative, thank you very much. I would be
very much interested in being a member of the community as I suspect
is also the case for many researchers involved in the recently funded
ERC project PLANTCULT (2016-2021) which has a strong apect of
investigation of wild plant resource exploitation. We would certainly
be interested. Do you envisage the EAA registration prerequisite as
something operating in the long-run throughout the 'life' of this
community or does it only apply to this year until the next conference
in Maastricht?
Congratulations for your initiative. Often several colleagues have
emphasized the significance of wild plant resources for past societies
and most recent examples of this can be seen in the volumes of Ferran
Antolín · Marian Berihuete · Oriol López "Archaeobotany of wild plant
use: Approaches to the exploitation of wild plant resources in the
past and its social implications"
and the work of Yvonne van Amerongen, Expect the unexpected: the vital
need for wild plants in a Bronze Age farmer’s diet (I am not reviewing
the literature, just presenting some examples, there are many more
case studies published, region- or species-specific; just to avoid
misunderstandings).
Please keep us updated.
Best wishes,
Tania
