| Notes: |
Description: This is a comprehensive reference work for archaeologists and paleobotanists interested in reconstructing interrelationships between humans and plants from the archaeological record. It is the first general work of theory and methods to emerge from this subdiscipline which has developed during the past twenty years. In the author's words, "The purpose of this book is twofold. First it assembles in one volume the three major methods of paleoethnobotany, the analysis of macroremains, pollen analysis, and phytolith analysis, for the student or professional interested in the field. Second, it presents one paleoethnobotanist's view of the discipline: its past, present and future, its strengths and weaknesses, and its role in modern archaeology."
