Dr. Alan Farahani (Ancient History & Mediterranean Archaeology, UC Berkeley) introduces teachers at the 2014 ORIAS summer teachers’ institute on Foodways in World History to new methods and theories in paleoethnobotany. An overview of the many ways in which archaeologists approach and understand the wide-ranging social, political, and environmental impacts of many peoples' commitment to sedentary, agricultural life in Southwest Asia from 7000 BCE onward. The presentation is illustrated with a case study from the archaeological site of Dhiban, Jordan, which has been the home of many communities for the past 3,000 year. Using paloethnobotany, or the archaeological study of human beings through the recovery of the plant remains they used, the relationships of people to each other as well as the world around them are revealed through the ways in which they carefully managed plants intended to become food desired by many.
