Abstract
The collection together at this Discussion Meeting of archaeologists and natural scientists, with a great diversity of specialist interests, emphasizes that the interpretation of evidence obtained in many different ways is necessary if we are properly to comprehend how our ancestors first took up farming and developed the many systems of agriculture that have been used from time to time. Certainly there is a need for better understanding between archaeologists and natural scientists. Without this each will not obtain full benefit from the other and the benefits are real. For example, during this Discussion Barbara Pickersgill has alluded to the new insight that has been provided to crop botany in the last 20 years by archaeology.
