Using different methods and theoretical approaches, the essays in this work apply botanical knowledge to studies of archaeological plant remains and apply paleoethnobotany to nonarchaeological sources of evidence. The resulting techniques often lie beyond the traditional boundaries of either archaeology or botany.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e With this ground-breaking work, the technically and methodologically enhanced paleoethnobotany of the 1990s has joined forces with ecological and evolutionary theory to forge explanations of changing relationships between human and plant populations.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eContents and Contributors:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The Shaping of Modern Paleoethnobotany, Patty Jo Watson\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e New Perspectives on the Paleoethnobotany of the Newt Kash Shelter, Kristen J.
