NWO Open Competition | Project Leader: Prof. James Symonds | 2022-2027 | PhD candidate in this project: Anja Fischer. This project will study changes in medicinal plant use in the Netherlands Low Countries in the early modern period.

The project will develop a new methodology that integrates innovative methods from the digital humanities with state-of-the-art scientific techniques to generate datasets that combine information from historical sources, archaeology, and archaeogenomics. This approach will enable us to formulate new ways of combining information on medicinal plants and health from large but fragmented sets of archival and archaeological data. The aim is to rediscover the lost or overlooked knowledge of medicinal plant use that is contained within archives and the archaeological record.
