BOSTAN TREE Bioarchaeology of Orchards and Sustainable Terroir in the Arid Near East – Trends in Ecology and Evolution

Coordinator: UNIVERSITY OF HAIFA (IL)

Engaging with the myriad challenges linked to global warming and the unchecked expansion of drylands, the project seeks to develop models for implementing past agricultural know-how in modern socioeconomic contexts. Our novel methodology fuses cutting-edge interdisciplinary scientific approaches from the humanities and natural sciences with an inclusive citizen science framework to examine the ecological history and cultivar diversity of relic ‘heritage horticulture’ in four distinct arid regions in southern Israel. Focusing on the bioarchaeology of trees, we will define the historical, biolo…
