Dear IPAS team, a lot of thanks for this very interesting film ! I have a lot of question but my english is so bad … may be by private mail in french ? Just an observation, I think it’s really difficult to practice this method for preventive archaeological excavation, it is too long. Usually, I have just one hour for sieving one waterlogged sample. If you are curious, I can send you the two short films I made years ago for help technicien to sieve dry or waterlogged sample. But there are very very basic. Thanks again, I will broadcast your film in my laboratory.

We produced an instructional film explaining the procedure step-by-step: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCa5oKgA0PM <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCa5oKgA0PM> (English version, there is also a German version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D91wZiieeOg <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D91wZiieeOg>). As a waterlogged sample is used in the film, we would also like to link to an instruction for sites on dry mineral soil which was done by Stefanie Jacomet: https://ipna.unibas.ch/archbot/ChaineOperatoire_Mineralboden.pdf <https://ipna.unibas.ch/archbot/ChaineOperatoire_Mineralboden.pdf> (available only in German). From our experience, this methodology also provides excellent results for dry sites (particularly if the sediment is very clay-rich). > > As mentioned in the description of the film, we can provide the relevant literature, instruction for a do-it-yourself sieving station for the field and we will answer questions about the video at [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]>. > > We would be very curious to see other methods presented as films, and we would appreciate an active exchange of methods used in archaeobotany. After all, the most important thing concerning methodology is an exact documentation of the methods used. > > > Kind regards, > > the IPAS team >
