Paleoethnobotany is the study of ancient plant remains and their relationship with past human societies. This field combines archaeology and botany to understand how people in different cultures used plants for food, medicine, and other purposes. By analyzing seeds, pollen, and other plant materials found at archaeological sites, researchers can reconstruct ancient diets and agricultural practices. The findings in paleoethnobotany can provide insights into the environmental conditions of the past and how they influenced human behavior. This research often involves collaboration with other disciplines, such as archaeology and anthropology, to create a comprehensive picture of human-plant interactions throughout history.
