An international team of contributors presents research in the expanding field of archaeological botany and agriculture.

Material is drawn from Spain, Germany, Britain and France with the first full survey of data from India and Afghanistan.

The book begins with the problems of methodology, with an analysis of new techniques being used and examples of their effectiveness.

It then surveys the worldwide use of paleoethnobotany in a series of regional studies, including recent research on palaeoenvironments in western and eastern Europe, Scandinavia and worldwide.
