内容説明

This study reviews the origin and subsequent spread of the plants on which Old World food production was founded. It is 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 text has been considerably revised to include a chapter on dye plants and new information on vegetables and fruit trees.

内容説明

Now in paperback, the second edition of this book reviews the origins and spread of cultivated plants in southwest Asia, Europe, and Africa north of the Sahara, from the earliest beginnings through to classical times. This new edition includes a chapter on dye plants, and significant new information on vegetables, fruit trees, and some grain crops. The authors examine evidence from archaeological sites and living plants to provide a modern synthesis of crop plant evolution. They provide answers to questions such as: What were the first plants to be domesticated in the Old World? Where have the first signs of their domestication been found, and what subsequent developments can be traced? What crops have been introduced from other parts of Asia and Africa? When did all these events take place? A chronological chart, site orientation maps, and full set of references complete the book. From the review of the hardcover edition "..... indeed a 'mine of information'. An enormous and diverse body of important results is digested and presented economically, in a form that should encourage other authors to mine it and apply the results to their own fields.
