       Eastern North America is one of only a handful of places 
       in the world where people first discovered how to 
       domesticate plants. In this book, anthropologist Shane 
       Miller uses two common, although unconventional, sources 
       of archaeological data, stone tools and the distribution 
       of archaeological sites, to trace subsistence decisions 
       from the initial colonization of the American Southeast at
       the end of the last Ice Age to the appearance of 
       indigenous domesticated plants roughly 5,000 years ago. 
       Miller argues that the origins of plant domestication lie 
       within the context of a boom/bust cycle that culminated in
       the mid-Holocene, when hunter-gatherers were able to 
       intensively exploit shellfish, deer, oak, and hickory. 
       After this resource "boom" ended, some groups shifted to 
       other plants in place of oak and hickory, which included 
       the suite of plants that were later domesticated. 
       Accompanying these subsistence trends is evidence for 
       increasing population pressure and declining returns from 
       hunting. Miller contends, however, that the appearance of 
       domesticated plants in eastern North America, rather than 
       simply being an example of necessity as the mother of 
       invention, is the result of individuals adjusting to 
       periods of both abundance and shortfall driven by climate 
       change"--Provided by publisher.
