Case Studies in Paieoethnobotany focuses on interpretation in paleoethnobotany.
In it the reader is guided through the process of analyzing archaeobotanical
data and of using that data to address research questions. Part I introduces
archaeobotanical remains and how they are deposited, preserved, sampled,
recovered, and analyzed. Five issue-oriented case studies make up Part II and
illustrate paleoethnobotanical inference and applications. A recurrent theme is the
strength of using multiple lines of evidence to address issues of significance.
This book is unique in its explicit focus on interpretation for consumers of
paleoethnobotanical knowledge. 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. The case study
format allows in-depth exploration of the process of interpretation in the
context of significant issues that will engage readers. No other work introduces
paleoethnobotany and illustrates its application in this way.
This book will appeal to students interested in ancient plant-people
interrelationships, as well as archaeologists, paleoethnobotanists, and
paieoecologists. The short methods chapters and topical case studies are ideal for
instructors of classes in archaeological methods, environmental archaeology, and
ethnobiology.
