The Ancient People and Plants Laboratory
|
The Ancient People and Plants Laboratory (APPL) was founded in 2017 by Dr. Katherine Chiou of the University of Alabama's Department of Anthropology. The laboratory is fully equipped to conduct archaeobotanical research and contains an extensive modern seed reference collection containing accessions from plants around the world to aid in seed identification. APPL also houses a microscope photography station that captures high quality photographs of small materials and microscope slides. Using specialized software, these photographs can be calibrated and measured for a range of attributes.
