Max Planck Research Group on Plant Foods in Hominin Dietary Ecology


Jörg Watzke Bio    CV    Publications

The importance of fully arranged labs for doing science is one of the goals of my work: The care for all things they must be done at the contact between science, technique and administration.

As head lab technician in the independent research group: “Plant foods in hominin dietary ecology”, I am responsible for the smooth running of the labs, devices, protocols and the development of the plant microfossil database.

Currently and with the helpful support by all members of the department of human evolution, I can setup the microscopy room and the facilities for our research group and can start with the sorting of the plant database. Thereafter I will soon setup the biochemical analytic of phytoliths and starch grains.
