Abstract
The study of plants in archaeologyarchaeobotanyis key to discovering how and when people exploited, cultivated and domesticated plants in the past, influenced their dispersal and effected their present-day biogeographic distributions. Archaeobotanical study incorporates a complex of methodologies, often reliant on carefully planned and executed sampling strategies and dependent on good preservation of various plant remains (Pearsall 2000).
