I'll be researching the phytogeography of a chosen region in Mesopotamia and mapping their potential distributions based on soil, slope, and elevation data to identify ethnographically used plants in a specific time period in that region (to be determined). Connected to the CLaSS project at Durham University, this research aims to show the prevalence of plants and reveal which sites likely or unlikely had access to them, which is vital to understanding and contextualizing the archaeological landscape. Ultimately, differing and changing access to plants played an important role in shaping the lives of peoples in this region and demonstrate one of the many impacts of climate change, from our ancient past to today.
