Congratulations to Jade who received a British Academy post-doc fellowship at Oxford University for her work "Farming before agriculture: investigating variability in plant management and consumption by western Asia’s earliest cultivators"! Her work examines how communities tended and consumed plants at three recently excavated early Neolithic sites in Iran and Jordan (10,000–7500 BC), including Sharara, by combining innovative isotopic and ecological analyses of plant remains with spatial and functional material culture.
