| Ancient Grains: The website of Delwen Samuel and Mark Nesbitt Posted: 07 Dec 2012 03:28 AM PST Ancient Grains: The website of Delwen Samuel and Mark Nesbitt 
We both work in archaeobotany - studying the archaeology of plants. Delwen Samuel's interests include bread and beer in ancient Egypt, cereals and nutrition in the Old World, and food microscopy and other techniques of residue analysis. She is based in the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Kings College London. Mark Nesbitt's interests are in the prehistory and history of plant use in the Near East, especially Turkey, in all aspects of wheat and other Old World cereals, and in the beginnings of farming. Although still publishing in these areas, his day job is on current-day aspects of botany at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
On our website you can find out more about our work, and the places where we have done fieldwork, and download our publications. We would be glad to receive copies or PDFs of your publications. Publications by Delwen SamuelClick on title to download PDF.
