Abigail Buffington organized and taught a Phytolith Methods course with Kyle Riordan and Drew Arbogast assisting. The course ran 20 contact hours in the Archaeobiology Laboratory (McCorriston’s lab) from 8-22 January, 2018. Online lectures and laboratory practice made this a crash introduction and excellent resource for phytolith analysis. Students processed ASOM Project archaeological sediments and practiced counting and identifying phytoliths using prepared slides from Buffington’s dissertation on ancient Yemen pastoralist landscapes. We learned a lot and had fun!
