Dear Ksenija Brorjevic I'm a micromorphologist working with Britta Pollmann, University of Basel, Switzerland. She forewarded your question about making thin sections of plant remains to me. We are working with microscopic thin sections like geologist are doing. We put our sediments, organic remains or coprolites in epoxid resin and give our dried blocks to a geologic lab to make out the section. It is possible to estimate the charcoal and several seeds with some experience and reference slides. If you need further informations, let me know. I'm sending you a link to an online publication - sorry, in german - with some picture of thin sections (p. 20-28), just as an impression. http://www.stadt-zuerich.ch/content/dam/stzh/hbd/Deutsch/Archaeologie_Denkmalpflege/Weitere%20Dokumente/Denkmalpflege/Denkmalpflegebericht/Limmatquai%2082_pdf01_internet.pdf All the best, Kristin Britta Pollmann Institut für Prähistorische und Naturwissenschaftliche Archäologie Spalenring 145 CH 4055 Basel Tel. 0041 61 201 02 33 Fax. 0041 61 201 02 35 ---------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program.
