Archaeobotany provides information on the ancient floras, the vegetation that surrounded the archaeological sites, and the interaction between human populations and plants; it may also offer information about wood technology, seasons of gathering or feeding, geographic origin of materials. It includes many different fields of research for analyses of macro or micro-remains. Crossing different data furnishes not merely a sum of information but it multiplies the meaning of single information, allowing detailed and unambiguous interpretation of the results. Case studies are reported.
