Psychoactive Plants of the Americas
Book •
Scott Fitzpatrick's 'Psychoactive Plants of the Americas' compiles archaeological, ethnohistorical, and ethnobotanical evidence for the use of psychoactive plants throughout the Americas.
The book explores how indigenous groups incorporated these plants into ritual, medicinal, and social practices and examines material traces and iconography related to entheogens.
Fitzpatrick discusses methodological approaches for identifying plant use in the archaeological record and considers implications for cultural change and contact.
The work helps contextualize ancient and historic entheogenic practices within broader patterns of social organization and belief.
It is aimed at researchers interested in the intersection of archaeology, botany, and cultural history.
