The preparation of this book was motivated by a longfelt need for a concise yet fairly comprehensive textbook of paleobotany for use in American colleges and universities. Although separate courses in paleobotany are not offered in many institutions, fossil plants are frequently…
"The Late Devonian and Permian-Triassic intervals are among the most dynamic episodes of Earth history, marked by large secular changes in continental ecosystems, dramatic fluctuations in ocean oxygenation, major phases of biotic turnover, volcanism, bolide impact events, and ra…
During the later part of the last century there was rapid development of the study and understanding of the changing environments of the last 2 million years. This came to provide a firm background for today's knowledge of the significance and importance of climatic change. Inte…

Distinguishing ancient domesticated cereals from wild progenitors in the archaeobotanical record has proven to be a challenge in eastern Africa. Establishing the presence of early crops at archaeological sites is fundamental to determining the antiquity of in situ cereal domesti…
Core samples from Late Jurassic (middle Oxfordian-Tithonian) and Early Cretaceous (late Berriasian-late Aptian) intervals of six oil wells in the southern coastal plain of Israel (Ashqelon-1, Talme-Yafe-4, Gevar'am-1, Helez-31, Helez-3, and Helez-2) were investigated palynologic…
This study uses archaeological plant remains to reconstruct and interpret the cultural ecology of Tell el-Maskhuta. This site is located at the eastern end of the Wadi Tumilat in Egypt, a natural corridor linking the ancient centers of the Nile to those of the Levant. Surprising…
