More About This Textbook
Overview
Paleoethnobotany, Second Edition presents the diverse approaches and techniques that anthropologists and botanists use to study human-plant interactions. It shows why anthropologists must identify plant remains and understand the ecology 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.
Audience: Upper division undergraduate and graduate students learning archaeological methods and approaches; general archaeologists and anthropologists; educated laypersons interested in the recovery and interpretation of archaeological botanical remains.
Editorial Reviews
American Anthropologist
Every archaeologist planning to excavate a site needs to read Pearsall's section on sampling botanical remains before digging. . .American Antiquity
Pearsall does an excellent job of raising and answering questions related to the how to's of paleoethnobotany. Her style is relaxed, yet informative, and in sections is similar to a conversation with the author.Choice
This new edition of the definitive work on doing paleoenthnobotany follows the steady growth in the quantity and sophistication of paleoenthnobotanical research. It features a rewritten chapter on phytolith analysis and a new chapter, Integrating Biological Data. It also includes new techiques, such as residue analysis, and new applications of old indicators, such as starch grains. An expanded examination of pollen analysis, more examples of environmental reconstruction, and a better balance of Old and New World examples increase the versatility of this holistic view of paleoethnobotany.Paleoenthnobotany, Second Edition presents the diverse approaches and techniques that anthropologists and botanists use to study human-plant interactions.

Pearsall should be commended for bringing together ideas culled from other disciplines (geology, biology, ecology) and recasting them in an archaeological light...
Journal of Field Archaeology
This work is an essential resource for researchers whose specialities lie in the prehistory of the New World tropics, agricultural origins, or prehistoric subsistence and diet. Although the level of detail is more appropriate for the professional reader, the book's clear style and careful explanation of complex concepts and methods make it potentially accessible to a wider readership. No doubt it will serve as a model of current and future generatsions of researchers, who I hope will take to heart (and into the field) the lessons offered by this superb multidisciplinary study of agricultural orgins.Reviews In Anthropology
Pearsall is to be commended for producing a volume that will do much to positively affect future research in paleoethnobotany.SIDA: Contributions to Botany
