Description and Table of Contents
Description
The authors here review the origin and subsequent spread of the plants on which old world food production was founded. Their account is mainly based on detailed consideration of two lines of evidence: the plant remains found at archaeological sites, and the knowledge that has accumulated about the present-day wild relatives of cultivated plants. General conclusions are presented separately from the facts that bear upon them, so that readers can draw their own conclusions from the evidence. The aim throughout is to provide a definitive book on the subject, specially for researchers and undergraduates in agriculture, archaeology, botany and geography.
