Reconstructing the evolutionary history of herbaceous crops through trait-based ecology. [PDF]
Am J BotAbstract Reconstructing the evolution of crop plants is fundamental to understanding their origins, ecological adaptations, and impacts on ecosystem processes. However, our understanding of crop evolution stems largely from archaeology and genetics, with less focus on a trait‐based ecological approach.

Agendas for Archaeobotany in the 21st Century: data, dissemination and new directions
Internet Archaeology, 2019 Archaeobotany, here taken as the study of archaeological plant macrofossil remains, is a mature and widely practised area of study within archaeology. However, plants are rarely seen as active participants in past societies.

Domestication as innovation : the entanglement of techniques, technology and chance in the domestication of cereal crops [PDF]
, 2010 The origins of agriculture involved pathways of domestication in which human behaviours and plant genetic adaptations were entangled. These changes resulted in consequences that were unintended at the start of the process.
