Victoria College’s Spring 2023 John W. Stormont Lecture Series will continue with Dr. Leslie Bush presenting “Deeply Rooted: Native Texas Plants from the Pleistocene to Present.”

Bush is a paleoethnobotanist, an archaeologist who specializes in identifying bits of plants preserved on archaeological sites, usually in the form of charcoal and occasionally as waterlogged wood or other plant parts. She will speak about her experiences working on archaeological sites in eighteen states, including the Fort St. Louis/Presidio La Bahia site in Victoria County.
