Dear All:

I am interested in finding references regarding the use of plants as clues
for site identification.

Are there certain kinds of plants that tend to colonize structure sites?

What sorts of domesticates and exotics were most common around homes at
various times (e.g. boxelder, perry winkle, English ivy)?

Once the types of plants to look for have been named, is there a
particularly good book to help with identifying these species in the field?

Thank you in advance for any words of wisdom.

Cheers,
Ben Ford
