Dear colleagues, A colleague who is an archaeologist with a specialty in ceramics is interested in broadening her work on perfume and medicinal trade in the Classical Mediterranean, and asks: If I were interested in picking up a few courses about Mediterranean ecology/botany, with a particular interest in familiarizing myself with plants that would be useful for perfume or medicinal use, where/which institutions would you recommend? I had trouble thinking of institutions that might offer such courses. This is something she would pursue during a sabbatical year, so anywhere in the world is possible. Any suggestions or ideas? Many thanks, Mac ––––––––––––––––––––––––––– John (Mac) Marston Assistant Professor and Director of Graduate Studies Departments of Archaeology and Anthropology Peter Paul Career Development Professor Director, Environmental Archaeology Laboratory Boston University Room 345F 675 Commonwealth Ave. Boston, MA 02215 t: (617) 353-2357 f: (617) 353-6800 email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> web: http://www.bu.edu/archaeology/marston/ lab: http://sites.bu.edu/ealab/
