Botany Research Sub-Group

The first archaeobotanical record of environmental change and hominin diet in the Out-of-Africa Corridor during the Lower to Upper Paleolithic

• Prof. Kislev exploring at GBY.

  The botany research group aims to reconstruct the paleo environment of the Near East and related regions, particularly the floral habitats and zoning around the paleo-Lake Hula
• Such paleo environmental reconstruction contribute to our understanding of the effects of climatic variations
• hominin diet and behavior at the site of Gesher Benot Ya‘aqov will also be considered, in relation to changes in the spatial and temporal distribution of edible plants
