VITIS IN UK POLLEN DIAGRAMS:A REQUEST FOR INFORMATION As part of a study to investigate the taphonomy of Vitis pollen by trap data and soil surface analyses, we would like to gather as much information on the occurrence of Vitis from other depositional settings and time periods. If you have encountered Vitis pollen during routine pollen analysis, we would welcome information on the following: -Site location, -estimated date of the horizon/level, -nature of sediment, -number of grains found and % abundance of Vitis in the sample. This research, which is funded by the Leverhulme Trust, is being undertaken in the School of Geography & Archaeology at the University of Exeter by Dr S. D. Turner and Prof. A. G. Brown. It forms part of a larger project involving the recent discovery and excavation of remains of Roman vineyards in the UK. Please e-mail details to: Dr. Simon Turner (e-mail: [log in to unmask]) Your help will be greatly appreciated and acknowledged. ---------------------- Dr. Simon Turner School of Geography & Archaeology University of Exeter Exeter EX4 4RJ UNITED KINGDOM Tel: +44 (0)1392 263912 (office)/ 263343 (microscope lab)) Fax: +44 (0)1392 263342 e-mail: [log in to unmask] %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
