Why Bananas Matter: An introduction to the history of banana domestication (2009, methodology): “Consequently, archaeobotanical investigations of the histories of exploitation and domestication of these food plants, such as bananas, have only been possible following the advent and application of these techniques (e.g., Fullagar et al. 2006, Mbida et al. 2001, Perry 2004).”
Using plant microfossils from dental calculus to recover human diet: a case study from Tell al-Raqā'i, Syria (2008, background): “Plant microfossils, such as phytoliths and starch grains, recovered from ancient sediments, stone tools, and pottery have been used to answer a variety of questions about tool use, origins of agriculture and other aspects of human behavior such as site organization (e.g., Albert et al., 2003; Balme ”
