20th Conference of the International Workgroup for Paleoethnobotany (IWGP) Groningen, Netherlands.
Jose Julian Garay Vazquez attended the 20th IWGP conference hosted by the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. The meeting, like previous years, had a global coverage of the most up-to-date advances in the discipline of archaeobotany in regions such as Eurasia, Africa, Austronesia, Melanesia, and the Americas. Julian presented a paper on the “Wild Plants Use in Past Societies” session, chaired by Anna Florin, Lucy Kubiak-Martens, Welmoed Out, and Wiebke Kirleis. The paper presented focused on the foraging systems of the first peoples to colonise the NW Amazon, based on the archaeobotanical program of the Last Journey project. Moreover, it was an opportunity to socialise the Ancient Amazonian Art collaboration with Google Arts & Culture to a broader audience.
