Identification and characterization of plant remains in thin sections.

Layer formation processes in limnic, fluvial and paludal environments in archaeological contexts from the Palaeolithic until Medieval, with a main focus on Neolithic pile dwelling sites
Taphonomy of organic remains
Identification of plant remains in thin sections with the construction of a plant reference collection in thin section, particularly for seeds/fruits
