Archaeobotany: macroremains

Article Abstract:

Archaeobotany, or the study of plant remains, is important in understanding ancient cultures. Archaeobotanical materials are divided into three types, namely, macroremains, pollen and phytoliths. Recently, archaeologists reconstructed the culture of the ancient people that once inhabited the ancient Phrygian capital of Gordion with the help of archaeobotany. However, archaeobotany's potentials are yet to be realized.

Article Abstract:

Near Eastern archaeology have utilized faunal analysis in identifying animals from the Palaeolithic and Neolithic periods. However, numerous faunal studies have been undertaken by archaeologists working on post-Neolithic sites in recent times. Issues surrounding the use of faunal analysis in archaeology can be better understood by studying faunal studies in Anatolia, which date back to the 1930s.
