ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would very much like to thank the following individuals for their assistance in compiling this bibliography over the last 4 years: Alwynne B. Beadoin (Provincial Museum of Alberta), David Corliss (Ochoco National Forest, OR), Steve Duzan (Ozark-St. Francis National Forest, AR), Jerry Hilliard (Arkansas Archeological Survey), William Kight (BLM - Glenwood Springs, CO), Richard Malouf (Sawtooth National Forest, ID), Roderick Sprague (University of Idaho), and Rebecca Timmons (Kootenai National Forest, MT). I also appreciate the comments and suggestions of Dr. Richard A. Yarnell (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill). INTRODUCTION This bibliography is intended only as a general overview of ethnobotany and paleoethnobotany. The primary thrust is food. Also included are references on domesticated and wild foodstuffs, dendrochronology, pollen analysis, medicine, culturally scarred trees (an important site category in western North America), tobacco, and mescalism & peyoteism. In order to prevent this bibliography from becoming a compendium of all archaeological knowledge of anything organic, certain artifact classes were omitted. These include weapons, netting, matting, wooden figurines, structures, water craft, basketry, and textiles. The references on maize or corn were only sampled (believe it or not) due to the voluminous nature of the available literature. This bibliography came into being due to searches for ethnobotanical literature that would assist in the interpretation and evaluation of site categories first in the west (Peeled Trees) and then in the east (Bluff Shelters). In each of these cases, the Agency had no effective library, the local city/county library had little or no material, and the local or nearest community college had little or no reference material. Often, the city/county library or local community or tech college was unable to get most materials through inter-library loan. This had been taken for granted after long years of having one or more major university libraries available. Now faced with problems of interpretation and evaluation, the only resources became the personal libraries of other archaeologists. I needed a tool or beginning point. The only option was to create one. More information on ethnobotanical material may be gleaned to a greater or lesser extent from ethnographies on tribes or groups, archaeological excavation reports, journals of early historical travelers such as Lewis and Clark, and books on the Indians of a state or region. Most states have books on their native plants. There are also plant field guides such as the Peterson series and Audubon series which are grouped regionally. There are numerous publications on plants by the United States Department of Agriculture and State Cooperative Extension Services.
