Summary

Much of what has occurred within the book up to Chapter 14 has been from the point of view of agriculture – where did the plants come from, how were they grown, what systems did this intertwine with? Chapter 14 turns these questions around and asks why farmers were growing these crops. What was the end goal? Foodways theory has begun to play a big role in Indus archaeobotany and in this chapter, the basic reason for growing (many of the) plants – food – is considered, and how taste and choices influenced diversity across the region is also examined.
