Dear colleagues, We are currently working on a project looking at the presence of Chenopodium album and its interpretation in the archaeological record in Europe, North Africa and Southwest Asia from the Neolithic into Late Roman Republican period. As we are in the initial stages of this project, we are creating a database of contexts in which Chenopodium has been found, the amount of remains these contexts produced and the relationship these remains have with other plant remains. We would be grateful to those who would be willing to share any unpublished data or to point us toward any of the more obscure publications which have Chenopodium album among their finds. All data gathered by this project will be freely available to the scholarly community. The project is sponsored by the Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program at the University of Michigan. All the Best, Laura Motta, Ryan Hughes and James Reslier-Wells
