As an environmental archaeologist, with an expertise in microbotanical methods, phytolith, starch grain and starch spherulite analysis, and microcharcoal, Dr. Ramsey investigates how people used plants in the past. More broadly she studies how people used, modified and ultimately constructed their environments and how this feedback impacts human experience and plant-use.
