The domestication of chili peppers
Chili peppers shares with Phaseolus beans and the Cucurbits the distinction of being among the first plants cultivated in the New World. Unlike the latter crops, peppers never formed a staple part of the diet, but have always been much-prized condiments. Several of the cultivated species of Capsicum are extremely variable. Bell peppers, paprika, cayenne and the Mexican chilis are all forms of a single species, C. annuum . Chili peppers are partic…
Some Current Topics in Plant Domestication
Amazonia offers some striking contrasts to better-known regions of the world, notably the Middle East, in which plants were domesticated. These contrasts are pertinent to attempts to formulate general principles of evolution under domestication, particularly now that some of these are being critically reexamined. Topics covered in this paper include a generally applicable definition of plant domestication; how domestication may be recognised arch…

Crops and Cultures in the Pacific
Fifty years ago Carl Sauer suggested, controversially and on the basis of theory rather than evidence, that South-east Asia was the source area for agriculture throughout the Old World, including the Pacific. Since then, the ar-chaeobotanical record (macroscopic and microscopic) from the Pacific islands has increased, leading to sugges-tions, also still controversial, that Melanesia was a cen-ter of origin of agriculture independent of South-east…

Ethnobotany and domestication in Xoconochtli,Stenocereus stellatus (Cactaceae), in the Tehuacán Valley and La Mixteca Baja, México
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…
Cultivated Plants as Evidence for Cultural Contacts
Cultivated plants are sometimes considered good indicators of cultural contact because the same plant cannot be invented independently in distinct regions. Some crops no doubt did spread from a single center, but other, more complex, histories have also to be considered. In some groups different species were domesticated in different areas, so before the archaeological record can be interpreted, it is important that the specimens be securely iden…
