Abstract

Studies of plant remains from well-dated archaeological deposits offer an unique opportunity to find out which plants were known to and used by people in the past, and the results of such studies greatly complement data gleaned from other sources. This paper explains how archaeobotanical evidence is preserved, and how it is recovered, and discusses some of the problems in interpreting it. A brief survey of the evidence available for the Anglo-Saxon period within England is provided, using the Archaeobotanical Computer Database (ABCD) as a source for records.
