6th World Archaeology Congress, Dublin, June 29th-July 4th, 2008 (WAC6)

Where will archaeobotany make an appearance in WAC6? I am involved in a conference theme on "The Rainforest as Artefact", and archaeobotany will obviously be important in this theme, but I will be interested to discover in what other areas of the conference we can learn about plants, and people, in the past.
