Finding Medieval Medicine Through Archaeobotany: An Ontological Approach
An ontological approach to medieval archaeobotany could assist in uncovering otherwise obscure evidence of complex human-plant interactions. In particular, archaeobotanical remains could contribute more toward research on medieval medicine and ...

Archaeobotany in an era of change and challenge: potential and fragility of macro- and micro-remains
Apart from helping us understand past communities’ response to climate change and their plant management resilience mechanisms, archaeobotanical information may also serve as a basis to rethink our economic system and implement new solutions to current ...
