<i>American Antiquity</i>

"One of the few well-focused source books available on methods for studying plants, people, and the use of cultivated space in the past."

<i>Journal of Field Archaeology</i>

"Finally, a comprehensive book that focuses on the newly developing science that interprets archaeological evidence of human utilization of land for agricultural and garden purposes. . . . Fine coverage of basic techniques and integration of recent advances in the field."
