Plant use in the later Palaeolithic

[@mnelson9057]

Fascinating work. Thanks for looking for the not-obvious and clarifying that biodegradable materials were important. Previous generations used the fact that only stone tools survived to say that only meat was consumed, completely ignoring biodegradability as a process. I’m looking forward to much more of this type of archaeological research. As you said, it will greatly broaden our knowledge of ancient life and technology. I hope someone soon finds evidence of their fiber work-baskets etc.-as well. I wish you much funding! Thank you.

I wonder if diversity of plant food items increases over time or decreases....? In historic times, diversity has decreased for some places and some types of plants.
