P-01 Micro Remains At Khirbat Safra: A Preliminary Report, Paul Ray

Celebration of Research and Creative Scholarship

Going beyond more traditional macro-level archaeological excavation methods, this project proposes that soil samples collected from carefully-selected stratigraphic contexts throughout the presumed domestic areas of Khirbat Safra, when run through floatation tanks, under controlled conditions, should provide archaeobotanical evidence for which laboratory analysis will likely yield added insight into the micro-level activities of daily life of the ancient people at the site.
