Case Studies in Paleoethnobotany

Paleoethnobotanical inference is increasingly sophisticated, and contributes to our understanding of the past in ways that may not be apparent outside the field or to all practitioners. Case Studies in Paleoethnobotany guides the reader through the process of analyzing archaeobotanical data and using it to address research questions. The unique case study format in this book allows in depth exploration of the process of interpretation in the context of significant issues that will engage readers. It will be of interest to archaeologists, paleoethnobotanists, and paleoecologists, as well as instructors of classes in archaeological methods, environmental archaeology, and ethnobiology.
