New Lives for Ancient and Extinct Crops
Profiles nine plant species that were important contributors to human diets and had medicinal uses in antiquity: maygrass, chenopod, marshelder, agave, little barley, chia, arrowroot, little millet, and bitter vetch. Each chapter is written by a well-known scholar, who illustrates the global value of the ancient crop record to inform the present. The contributors provide examples of the unexpected wealth of information available in the archaeological record about ancient and extinct crops.
