Plants in Neolithic Britain and Beyond

In the last three decades archaeobotany has made huge leaps in its methodology and its procedures have become a widespread and almost routine part of archaeological work. Although the archaeobotanical record in Britain has many deficiencies, plant-centred issues are nevertheless fundamental in the definitions and explanations of the Neolithic as a phenomenon. The meeting of the Neolithic Studies Group from which this volume developed was aimed to provide a forum for the wide range of approaches now applied to Neolithic archaeobotany at site and landscape scales of resolution.
