This book is one of a series of more than 20 volumes resulting from
the World Archaeological Congress, September 1986, attempting to
bring together not only archaeologists and anthropologists from
many parts of the world, as well as academics from contingent
disciplines, but also non-academics from a wide range of cultural
backgrounds. This volume develops a new approach to plant
exploitation and early agriculture in a worldwide comparative
context. It modifies the conceptual dichotomy between
"hunter-gatherers" and "farmers", viewing human exploitation of
plant resources as a global evolutionary process which incorporated
the beginnings of cultivation and crop domestication. The studies
throughout the book come from a worldwide range of geographical
contexts, from the Andes to China and from Australia to the Upper
Mid-West of North America. This work is of interest to
anthropologists, archaeologists, botanists and geographers.
Originally published 1989.
