These fifty papers were presented at a two-day meeting of the Research Seminar in Archaeology and Related Subjects held at the Institute of Archaeology in London in 1968. Archaeologists, anthropologists and biologists discuss the environmental background to the origins of domestication, patterns of the exploitation of plants and animals, methods of investigating domestication and exploitation, as well as regional studies, studies of particular taxonomic groups and human nutrition. First published in 1971 by Duckworth, the papers are reprinted here without revision.
