	Paleoethnobotany - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paleoethnobotany, also known as archaeobotany in European (particularly British) academic circles, is the archaeological sub-field that studies plant remains from archaeological sites.
		The major research themes are recovery and identification of plant remains, the use of wild plants, the origins of agriculture and domestication, and the co-evolution of human-plant interactions.
		The work done in paleoethnobotany can be divided into field work, collections management, systematic description of species, and theories into the origins of human and plant interaction.

	Cultural Resource Analysts, Inc.: Paleoethnobotany
		Paleoethnobotany or archaeobotany is the study of the relationship between plants and people through the field of archaeology.
		Because plants are often an indicator of climate, archaeologists often turn to paleoethnobotany to reconstruct past environments.
		Paleoethnobotany allows archaeologists to learn about the prehistoric and historic use of plants for medicinal purposes, basketry, clothing, and house construction.

		Paleoethnobotany, also known as archaeobotany, is the study of human-plant interrelationships.
		Paleoethnobotany is an important component of a comprehensive study of any archaeological site, in addition to ceramic, lithic, or faunal analyses.
		While paleoethnobotany can include the study of many different types of plant remains, from pollen to phytoliths, I specialize in macro-remains (plant parts large enough to be seen under a low powered microscope).

	Paleoethnobotany (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This course is a survey of the fast-developing field of paleoethnobotany (also known as archaeobotany), the study of the interrelations between people of the past and plants.
		The general goal of the course is to promote understanding of the vital interplay between human societies, with their diverse systems of belief and resource use, and the plants that surround them.
		The latter half of the course is focused on theory and interpretation, and, in general, issues central to and/or addressed by paleoethnobotany as a subdiscipline of anthropology, including environmental reconstruction, paleonutrition and diet, agricultural origins, economic systems, and more.

	Paleoethnobotany: A Handbook of Procedures (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		This is an ambitious remit, particularly given that paleoethnobotany is a young field with techniques that are usually passed on by hands-on teaching, and which are relatively little mentioned in the literature.
		A particularly attractive feature of this book is its detailed coverage of topics such as recovery and identification that, while unglamourous and often little discussed, are critical to the validity of the final interpretation.
		In contrast Hastorf and Popper (1988), in an edited volume that usefully complements this one, offer a series of thematic chapters of global application that are explicitly based on regional case studies.

	Paleoethnobotany at Washington University
		Students interested in paleoethnobotany and who are applying for graduate study in anthropological archaeology should apply for admission through the Department of Anthropology.
		Additional resources for studying Paleoethnobotany in St. Louis include the world-renowned Missouri Botanical Garden, the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center, and the Department of Biology at the University of Missouri at St. Louis where an excellent course on plant systematics is offered.
		In addition to required courses in the respective departmental programs, graduate students seeking to specialize in Paleoethnobotany are encouraged to take courses in departments or programs that complement and enhance their existing training and that will be relevant to their areas of interest.

		To foster appreciation for the basic skills and concepts of paleoethnobotany.
		We begin with a general overview of the field of Environmental Archaeology and its three primary subareas of research: earth sciences (geoarchaeology, archaeopedology, geomorphology), paleoethnobotany (or archaeobotany), and zooarchaeology.
		Subsequent sessions emphasize basic concerns and methodologies (laboratory and field) according to each subarea, with individual laboratory examples designed to provide hands-on experience with the various categories of remains and analytical techniques.

		The book begins with an excellent opening chapter on the history and development of paleoethnobotany as a discipline, details the progress and growing acceptance of this technology during the last century, and discusses the current and potential future status of the discipline.
		Some of these indirect indicators include evidence found in coprolites (i.e., fossil feces), isotopes, trace elements, and nonspecific indicators of stress in a population (i.e., dental caries and tooth loss, dental enamal patterns showing hypoplasia and Harris lines, porotic hyperostosis in bones, and bone robustness).
		Because I have a special interest in pollen studies, I was especially interested in her chapter on the use of palynology in paleoethnobotany.

	MASCA: Paleoethnobotany
		Paleoethnobotany is the study of the relationship between people and plants in the past.
		The MASCA paleoethnobotany section research focuses primarily on the reconstruction of ancient environments and land use in southwest Asia and Central Asia through the study of plant macroremains (primarily charred seeds and wood).
		Our major projects are in central Anatolia (at Gordion), in the rainfall agriculture zone along the Euphrates in northeastern Syria and southeastern Turkey (at Tell es-Sweyhat and other sites), and in the lower piedmont of the Kopet Dag in Turkmenistan (at Anau).

		Archaeologists investigate the entire human past from the first evidence of tool use 2.5 million years ago to historic studies of the late 19th- and early 20th-centuries.
		To provide a comprehensive understanding of archaeology, the faculty in the archaeology program emphasizes two approaches: the humanistic, which is represented by classical archaeology, and the social scientific, which is represented by anthropological archaeology.
		The anthropological archaeology faculty focuses on biologically based studies (paleoethnobotany and zooarchaeology) to research such questions as the origins of food production.

		Paleoethnobotany, Second Edition presents the diverse approaches and techniques used by anthropologists and botanists in the study of human-plant interactions.
		Additionally, it demonstrates why botanists need to view the plant world from a cultural perspective and understand the strengths and weaknesses of the archaeological record.
		It features a rewritten chapter on phytolith analysis and a new chapter, "Integrating Biological Data." It also includes new techniques, such as residue analysis, and new applications of old indicators, such as starch grains.

	Ethnobotany
		The interdisciplinary nature of paleoethnobotany forces its practitioners to draw on many sources and to investigate both natural resource collections as well as cultural resource collections.
		A paleoethnobotany informed by both historic and prehistoric sources is indeed rich and deep.
		Perhaps this gallery will help inspire students of both natural history and cultural history to conduct their field work to with a greater appreciation for the wealth of plant knowledge held by the foragers who lived in the Lower Pecos Canyonlands for thousands of years.

		Environmental archaeology is the study of the long-term relationship between humans and their environments.
		Various sub-disciplines are involved to document and interpret this relationship, including paleoethnobotany, geomorphology, palynology, geophysics, landscape archaeology, human biology and human ecology.
		Environmental archaeology has seen a surge of interest in recent years, as it is one of the few disciplines that is able to provide empirical evidence to show how humans have responded to rapid climate change in the past.
