Description: Report on the history of the group and the 1998 meeting.
International Work Group for Palaeoethnobotany International Work Group for Palaeoethnobotany Delwen Samuel, Institute of Archaeology, The apocryphal story about the first meeting of the International Work Group for Palaeoethnobotany (IWGP), held 30 years ago, is that the gathering was small enough that every one attending could fit into a single taxi - an alternative version says it was a telephone booth. The eleventh meeting was held in Toulouse, France, May 18-23 1998, at the Université Paul Sabatier, and was organised by Philippe Marinval (Université Paul Sabatier) and George Willcox (Institut de Préhistoire, Jalès-Berrias). This was the largest IWGP meeting yet, with 150 people listed as participants. The steady rise in numbers over 30 years is a healthy development for archaeobotany, but it also means a turning point may have arrived for the structure and format of the IWGP.
