  transported environmental and medicinal knowledge alongside familiar plan
 ts. As African people\, beliefs\, and practices encountered Indigenous and
  European people and plants\, a distinct variety of ethnomedicine emerged 
 and allowed African Americans to both covertly and directly confront oppre
 ssion. This talk will explore the basics of archaeobotany and will present
  a case study that illustrates how multidisciplinary lines of evidence can
  highlight historical instances of human resilience and resistance.\n\nCli
