Opening of «Arqueología de las plantas» at the Archaeological Museum of Fuerteventura

The Cultura Fuerteventura events calendar announces the opening of «Arqueología de las plantas» at the Archaeological Museum of Fuerteventura in Betancuria. The cycle, subtitled «a look at the invisible archaeological record», consists of three talks by archaeobotany specialists from the University of La Laguna, who will discuss how pollen, charcoal and phytoliths help us understand past landscapes, how the aboriginal population used wood, and the techniques of basketry and cordage. The speakers are Dr Paloma Vidal Matutano, lecturer at the University of La Laguna; Dr María Herrero Otal, postdoctoral researcher at the ULL; and Dr Álvaro Castilla Beltrán, assistant professor at the ULL.

The opening is on Tuesday 3 November 2026 at 19:00 at the Archaeological Museum of Fuerteventura (C. Roberto Roldán, 21, Betancuria), and entry is free. The source gives the date and time of this session only, not those of the other talks in the cycle.
