Annual Ethnobotany Lecture: The origins and spread of agriculture: a comparative world view by Professor David Harris, Institute of Archaeology, UCL 5 pm, Tuesday 7 October 2003, Jodrell Lecture Theatre All are welcome to this lecture, an opportunity to welcome the 2003 intake of Ethnobotany M.Sc. students to Canterbury and Kew. David Harris is well known for his publications and fieldwork on the beginnings of farming in the Near East and elsewhere. In this illustrated lecture he will take a global perspective on why some early agricultural systems spread and others did not, and consider whether this can be explained in terms of their varying biotic assemblages and nutritional potential. The Jodrell Lecture Theatre is accessible from Kew Road, through the Jodrell Gate. Kew Bridge (trains from Waterloo) and Kew Gardens (District Line, North London Line) stations are nearby. After the talk, all are invited to join us at the Coach & Horses pub on Kew Green, which serves good food and drink. Enquiries: [log in to unmask] (020 8332 5719).
