"This volume celebrates the career of archaeobotanist Professor Gordon C. Hillman. The original 14 papers, which formed the core of this volume, were inspired both by Professor Hillman's early retirement in 1997 and the Distinguished Economic Botanist award, which he received in 2004. Additional papers were then contributed and the result is 28 papers covering a wide range of topics and therefore reflecting the great influence that Hillman has had in the field of archaeobotany. Many of his favourite research topics are covered, the body of the text being split into four sections: Personal reflections on Professor Hamilton's career by three of his longest and most valued professional colleagues; archaeobotanical theory and method; ethnoarchaeological and cultural studies; and ancient plant use from sites and regions around the world." "This collection of papers is a fitting tribute to a man who has had outstanding influence in his field and has been much admired by many colleagues and students, instilling in them the belief that their subject is not only valuable, but vital for any study of humanity." --Book Jacket.
