If rebutting an assertion that some ancient tribe may have used psychedelics to treat, say, PTSD, I wouldn't feel very convinced by an absence of evidence, but only by evidence of absence. E.g. if a particular plant's consumption should leave traces in bone, but didn't, and there are lots of bone samples.
