The study of phytoliths inorganic silica remnants plants leave
behind when they die and decay has developed dramatically over the
last twenty years. New publications have documented a diverse array
of phytoliths from many regions around the globe, while new
understandings have emerged as to how and why plants produce
phytoliths. Together, these developments make phytoliths a powerful
tool in reconstructing past environments and human uses of plants.
In Phytoliths, Dolores Piperno makes sense of the discipline for
both those working directly with phytoliths in the field or the lab
as well as for those who rely on the results of phytolith studies
for their own research. Including over a hundred images, Piperno's
book will be of great benefit to archaeologists and paleobotanists
in the classroom or the lab.
