OLD WORLD REFERENCE PHYTOLITHS version 1.3
This is a work in progress to make available a set of phytolith photographs of Old World reference material. Starting particularly with the Near East but with some material from India & China.
Reference material from the Institute's collections has been ashed, mounted and photographed. The ashing, slide preparation and photography has been carried out by Emma Harvey, Alison Weisskopf, Phillippa Ryan, and Rhiannon Jackson. The initial focus is husk material from the Near Eastern grasses. A few external links have been included. This project was started with support from an ESCILTA grant from University College London.
