Laboratory of Archaeobotany and Palaeoecology

Characteristics

The Laboratory of Archaeobotany and Paleoecology (LAPE) is a specialized university workplace, established in September 2002 at the Faculty of Science at the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice.

LAPE performs all the main methods within the field of archaeobotany, in particular the analysis of plant macro-remains and the xylotomic determination of wood and embers. It also deals with the paleoecological fields:

-pollen analysis, archeozoology, dendrochronology, diatomic and phytolith analysis

--and their use in archaeology.

LAPE provides many services under agreement with the archaeological workplace. In addition to consultation relating to the use of scientific methods in archeology, it mainly concerns its own archaeozoological and archeobotanical analysis. LAPE also builds on the same type of activities carried out from 1997 to 2002 by the company ARCHEOS, which is mainly, systemically engaged in rescue archaeological research. The aforementioned company broadly supports the activities of LAPE.
