Notes: San Juan Valley Archaeological Project Technical Series No. 2.  Eastern New Mexico University Contributions in Anthropology Vol. 8 No. 1.   “In order to cope with the large and complex body of ethnobotanical data produced, it was essential that a series of sensitive and consistent techniques be employed for sampling, analysis, and recording of excavated material and for the integration of this information into larger-scale regional environmental studies.   It was also quite evident that these techniques should be capable of adaptation to computer treatment in order to integrate botanical data with the wide range of other information classes.”  (From the Forward).  How to handle botanical artifacts, including forms and plant references, using Salmon Ruins as a teaching model.
