Our understanding of past landscapes and how people survived within them can be viewed through the looking glass of microscopic remains. The microscope lab at the Department of Archaeology and Natural History houses state-of-the-art facilities that are being used to examine all aspects of the Earth’s past environments.

 
The PalaeoWorks web page is the portal to key resources being developed to facilitate palaeo- and archaeobotanical research in the Asia-Pacific region.
