Plants and Landscapes of Indigenous Texans
The ancestors of historic indigenous Texans used extensive systems of traditional knowledge to work with their lands to provide food, medicine, tools and shelter. This class dives deep into the history of indigenous Texas, what plants people used for various purposes, and how archaeologists know. A few particularly interesting animal finds are also covered.
Instructor Leslie L. Bush is a registered professional archaeologist and consulting paleoethnobotanist who has worked in Texas since 2003.
