Abstract
In this paper, data from several recent studies conducted in the Charleston, South Carolina area are used to demonstrate that floral remains have a role to play in the reconstruction of foodways and, further, that both archaeology and history can contribute to the reconstruction. A discussion of the potential, and the problems, of ethnobotanical studies precede a discussion of the present data base.
