About This Item
vi+218 pages with tables, charts, maps and appendices. Octavo (8 3/4" x 6") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Museum of anthropology, University of Michigan, Number 23. Reprint. Anthropologists and botanists talk about the value of prehistoric plant remains and plants of living aborigines in the study of evolution of human cultures and plants, but they publish very little. Richard Yarnell provides a much needed report of studies he and others have made, paying particular attention to Michigan, and summarizes the literature and some unpublished records of Volney Jones and Edward Voss. He goes far beyond the Upper Great Lakes area and, especially for cultivated plants, covers materials from New York to Kentucky and to Nebraska, Wisconsin and Ontario. This work is essential for anyone studying plant use by Indians of this region. Condition: Head end pages damp stained, corners bumped, spine sunned else a very good copy.
