In this major new volume, leading scholars demonstrate the importance of archaeobotanical evidence in the understanding of the spread of agriculture in southwest Asia and Europe. Whereas previous overviews have focused either on Europe or on southwest Asia, this volume considers the transition from a pan-regional perspective, thus making a significant contribution to our understanding of the processes and dynamics in the transition to food production on both continents. It will be relevant to students, researchers, practitioners and instructors in archaeology, archaeobotany, agrobotany, agricultural history, anthropology, area studies, economic history and cultural development.

Sue Colledge is at the Centre for the Evolutionary Analysis of Cultural Behaviour at the Institute of Archaeology, University College London. Her research has centred on early prehistoric sites in the Near East (e.g. in Cyprus, Syria, Jordan and Turkey), examining archaeobotanical remains recovered from several Epipalaeolithic and Pre Pottery Neolithic sites with the aim of assessing the impact of the inception of cultivation and of the introduction of domestic crops.James Conolly holds the Canada Research Chair in Archaeology at the Department of Anthropology, Trent University, Canada. His main areas of interest are quantitative and computational archaeology and the emergence of complexity, particularly as applied to the origins and spread of agriculture, landscape and settlement archaeology, and Aegean prehistory.
