Last week MSCA postdoctoral fellows Jessica Feito and Patricia Vandorpe travelled to France to present their research, as part of the larger project ‘Urbanisation, commerce and foodways in the Roman world’ directed by Dr. Alexandra Livarda and Prof. Hector Orengo.
They participated in the XVe Rencontres d’Archéobotanique de Langue Française held in Paimpont in Bretagne from the 18th to the 21st of November, where the majority of the French speaking archaeobotany community gathered to discuss latest results of their research.
On the first day of the conference, they gave a joint presentation “Les habitudes alimentaires dans les provinces romaines de Germania et de Gallia : une approche Archéobotanique” (Dietary habits in the Roman provinces of Germania and Gallia: an archaeobotanical approach) presenting both advanced results of the PlantNetGem project (MSCA-2021-PF-01-101063192) and preliminary results of the ongoing FoodMod-RGB project (MSCA-2023-PF-01. n.101150647).
The conference provided an excellent forum to share our results with the broader community and learn from our peers.
