Initial formation of an indigenous crop complex in eastern North America at 3800 B.P
Although geneticists and archaeologists continue to make progress world-wide in documenting the time and place of the initial domestication of a growing number of plants and animals, far less is known regarding the critically important context of coalescence of various species into distinctive sets or complexes of domesticates in each of the world's 10 or more independent centers of agricultural origin. In this article, the initial emergence of a…
Indian Agriculture in America
is a sweeping survey of Indian agriculture from its ancient origins to the present. It combines a wealth of historical, anthropological, legal, and economic information in a clear, readable synthesis. This is without doubt the most thorough and comprehensive treatment of Indian agriculture in print. It is multidisciplinary and impressive both in scope and in depth. Hurt shows a deft hand in summarizing not only the literature on the evolution of …
Archaeological evidence for precolumbian introduction of portulaca oleracea and mollugo verticillata into Eastern North America
On the Quality of Evidence for Origin and Dispersal of Cultivated Plants [and Comments and Reply]
Sources of evidence for origin and dispersal of cultivated plants are tabulated and classified. All items are qualified, and the level of confidence with which an item of evidence can be accepted varies accordingly. Qualifications are listed as (1) authenticity, (2) abundance, (3) kind, (4) interpretation, and (5) integration. Theories proposed are often based on evidence of very dubious quality; it is suggested here that a more disciplined appro…
Iva annua var. macrocarpa
Exceptionally large sumpweed achenes have been recovered from archaeological sites in the region extending from Kansas City and the Ozarks to eastern Kentucky and western North Carolina. Dates of occupation range from early first millennium B.C. to the first half of the second millennium A.D. Achene size progressed from slightly larger than modern achenes at the earliest sites to double the modern length at later sites. This is taken as evidence …

Subsistence Ecology of Scovill, a Terminal Middle Woodland Village
Scovill is a Weaver focus site in west-central Illinois. Various techniques were employed to extract maximal amounts and kinds of food remains from the site, and these remains, identified and quantified, are then compared with the estimated food potential from the 10 mi2 area surrounding the site in an attempt to determine both the ecology and the subsistence pattern of the inhabitants. Certain hypotheses concerning the overall settlement-subsist…

Archaeological and Paleoethnobotanical Investigations in Salts Cave, Mammoth Cave National Park, Kentucky
Reconnaissance, surface collecting, and test excavation were carried on in Salts Cave in August, 1963, by a joint Illinois State Museum-Cave Research Foundation expedition in cooperation with the National Park Service. Various analyses and secondary investigations have continued since then. The main upper passages of the cave were extensively visited during the last millennium B.C. by a prehistoric people who are probably to be assigned to the Ea…
Implications of Distinctive Flora on Pueblo Ruins1
"Comments on Struever's Discussion of an Early "Eastern Agricultural Complex
In a recent article, Stuart Struever made certain statements which deserve comment. Discussion of the possibility of pre-maize agriculture in the eastern United States appeared in print as early as 1924. Sunflower and marshelder seem to have been among the plants domesticated, but not giant ragweed. The evidence for cultivation of amaranth and chenopod needs more careful evaluation. The archaeological occurrence of unusually large seeds may be go…
Reciprocity in cultural ecology
A New Radiocarbon Date on Corn from the Davis Site, Cherokee County, Texas
A radiocarbon date of A.D. 398 ± 175 for the Davis site was published in 1951. The material dated was charred corn cobs from a submound house structure. A new radiocarbon date of A.D. 1307 ± 150 on corn cobs from the same structure would seem to be more accurate in view of certain archaeological interpretations and corn typology
