Now I want to know who was doing all of this – men vs. women vs. children vs. different social classes, and how this varied through time in different societies in different areas with different levels of sociopolitical organization. :-)

I’m familiar with the expertise you mention from the years I studied archaeology and archaeobotany, but have always thought it was a shame that this information is so rarely presented to the general reader in an interesting way. If this isn’t the subject of your current book (I just started reading your blog last month, so forgive me if this is something you’ve blogged about in the past), I think you should make it the subject of a future one.
