The goal of the Permian Basin MOA Task Order 10 was to analyze 500 AMS radiocarbon samples collected from feature context by the Carlsbad Field Office Cultural Resource Staff (including recovering and identiyfing charcoal and/or burned annual remains from each of the samples prior to selecting the best item to date), as well as analyzing 500 duplicate samples collected at the same locations for environmental and subsistence related evidence using starch, phytolith, and macrobotanical analyses.

This book takes the accumulated knowledge from the last century of botanical, ethnobotanical, and archaeological research in the CFO-BLM region and summarizes it in a reference book that strives to appeal to both working archaeological professionals and members of the public.
