My responsibilities as an archaeobotanist (in the Technical/Botanical Platform) include the preparation, identification, and evaluation of botanical remains (e.g. wood and charcoal), macroremains (seeds and fruits in charred and uncharred states), and the analysis of pollen. I support several projects that are part of ROOTS. Thus, I come into contact with time periods from the Neolithic to modern times. Moreover, the various investigation sites range across Europe and sometimes further away. I also enjoy presenting our work at events for pupils and interested people. In addition, I have been organising experimental cereal cultivation in Albersdorf (AÖZA) and Kiel (Forschungswerkstatt) for many years.
