It explores the effects that plant life has had on humans as they evolved from primates through the complex societies of Africa, including Egypt, the Buganda Kingdom, southern African polities, and other regions. With over 30 contributing scholars from 12 countries and extensive illustrations, this volume is an essential addition to our knowledge of humanity's relationship with plants. 410 0$aUNIV COL LONDON INST ARCH PUB 606 $aPlant remains (Archaeology)$zAfrica 606 $aAgriculture, Prehistoric$zAfrica 606 $aAntiquities, Prehistoric$zAfrica 606 $aExcavations (Archaeology)$zAfrica 607 $aAfrica$xAntiquities 615 0$aPlant remains (Archaeology) 615 0$aAgriculture, Prehistoric 615 0$aAntiquities, Prehistoric 615 0$aExcavations (Archaeology) 676 $a561.196 701 $aStevens$b Chris J$01651776 701 2$aFuller$b Dorian Q$01651777 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820967603321 996 $aArchaeology of African plant use$94001932 997 $aUNINA
