92. Andean Parenchyma Reference Collection
Abstract
A select collection of Andean roots and stems were systematically analyzed and imaged in order to form a reference collection that could aid in the identification of preserved parenchymatous tissue recovered in a macrobotanical form through archaeological investigations. This experimental study looked at various roots and stems that were likely significant in ancient Latin American diets in order to try to identify any diagnostic morphological features that may exist.
