Download or read book Method and Theory in Paleoethnobotany written by John M. Marston and published by University Press of Colorado. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 573 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Paleoethnobotany, the study of archaeological plant remains, is poised at the intersection of the study of the past and concerns of the present, including agricultural decision making, biodiversity, and global environmental change, and has much to offer to archaeology, anthropology, and the interdisciplinary study of human relationships with the natural world. Method and Theory in Paleoethnobotany demonstrates those connections and highlights the increasing relevance of the study of past human-plant interactions for understanding the present and future. A diverse and highly regarded group of scholars reference a broad array of literature from around the world as they cover their areas of expertise in the practice and theory of paleoethnobotany—starch grain analysis, stable isotope analysis, ancient DNA, digital data management, and ecological and postprocessual theory. The only comprehensive edited volume focusing on method and theory to appear in the last twenty-five years, Method and Theory in Paleoethnobotany addresses the new areas of inquiry that have become central to contemporary archaeological debates, as well as the current state of theoretical, methodological, and empirical work in paleoethnobotany.

Download or read book Archaeology Meets Science written by Holley Martlew and published by Oxbow Books. This book was released on 2008-03-14 with total page 621 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'Archaeology meets Science' project is currently transforming our understanding of the Minoan and Mycenaean civilisations, through the in-depth application of state of the art scientific analyses to ceramic artefacts and skeletal material. This book is the fruit of this acclaimed research, which was carried out between 1997 and 2003, and presented in an exhibition in a number of museums across Europe and the United States, starting with the National Archaeological Museum in Athens. Moving beyond the standard archaeological format of illustrations with descriptions of contexts, the book analyses each object from the inside , and consequently each has a different story to tell. Organic residue and stable isotope analysis has extended our knowledge beyond anything previously gleaned through conventional archaeological research, and we now have a much better understanding of the food and drink consumed by ordinary people in Bronze Age Greece. There are some fascinating insights, such as the origin of modern Greek retsina, which was traced first to the time of Agamemnon, then to Crete in the 17th century BC and finally to the Early Minoan Period, c. 2000 BC. The book provides the primary scientific evidence on which the world renowned scientists who have carried out this work have based their conclusions.

Download or read book Hunter gatherer Specialised Subsistence Strategies in Greece During the Upper Palaeolithic from the Perspective of Lithic Technology written by Paraskevi Elefanti and published by British Archaeological Reports Oxford Limited. This book was released on 2003 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In addressing the question of whether economically specialised sites had specialised lithic technologies, Elefanti draws on evidence from three broadly contemporary sites in north-west and southern Greece. Defining Klithi as a seasonally-occupied and possibly specialised site and Kastrista and Franchthi as sites with access to a diverse range of resources and more favourable conditions for longterm occupation, lithic evidence from the three is reassessed and compared. The theoret ical and methodological premises of the research are clearly laid out and Elefanti concludes by stating that either Klithi is not truly representative of a specialised site, or there are no discernible differences in lithic technology between the two site types.
