Archaeology
The Fortified Hill Site Near Gila Bend, Arizona
Excavations arc reported of an unusual site, located on top of a volcanic escarpment, on the Gila Bend Indian Reservation. The rooms and walls were reconstructed during excavation. All components, with the exception of probable ceremonial units, were composed of rubble core masonry. Three building phases were delineated. Rooms were grouped in social units of two or three houses.Two burial zones of primary cremations were found. Mining areas were …
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…

Carbonized Plant Remains From Two Hohokam Sites, Arizona Bb
The plant evidence from two Hohokam sites near Punta del Agua on the San Xavier Indian Reservation south of Tucson, Arizona enlarges our knowledge of plant utilization between A.D. 700-1200. The cultivated plants included maize (Zea mays), tepary beans (Phaseolus acutifolius var. latifolius) and jack beans (Canavalia ensiformis). The maize is similar to that from other Hohokam sites and to smaller and older kinds grown by the Papago. Jack beans m…
Origins of Agriculture in the Americas
Recent Archeological, Botanical and Geographical Work Has Produced so much information on native agriculture of the New World that it is time to review again what we know about origins and dispersal of agriculture in this hemisphere. Harris, a geographer (1967), summarized ideas on origins of agriculture of both Old and New Worlds. Smith (1968b) gives some brief observations on recent archeological evidence, but his paper was prepared in 1966. He…
Pottery and Cucurbita Species
The identification of pottery artifacts modeled after Cucurbita species from the Mochica culture of Peru is discussed. The evidence strongly suggests these artifacts were modeled after cultivars of C. moschata, not C. pepo as reported from time to time in botanical literature

Corn and Cucurbits from Wetherill Mesa
Most corn from the Mesa Verde area belongs to a complex derived from hybridization of a small-cobbed flint-pop corn with an 8-rowed flour corn. This cross produced 12- to 14-rowed flint and flour corn (the typical Basketmaker corn) and the variable Pima-Papago corn. After Pueblo I, probably late Pueblo II, there was an increase in the number of 8-rowed cobs and a decrease in 12- to 14-rowed cobs. The corn is similar to collections from sites of c…

Plant Material from a Cave on the Rio Zape, Durango, Mexico
Plant remains from La Cueva de los Muertos Chiquitos consist mostly of cultivated plants, beans, corn, and cucurbits. The inhabitants also gathered acorns, pinon nuts, black walnuts, and opuntia fruits for food, and used yucca, agave, and possibly cotton for fibers. The beans are unusually abundant and diverse: three species and 12 types or varieties. A type of lima bean (Phaseolus lunatus) and two common beans (P. vulgaris), one of them similar …
History and Distribution of the Cultivated Cucurbits in the Americas
All species of Cucurbita (which includes squashes, pumpkins, and the common, small, yellow-flowered gourds) are native to the Americas. Their center of origin lies in Mexico where most of the 26 wild and cultivated species still grow. Chilicayote (C. ficifolia), a perennial and probably the oldest cultivated species, is grown from Mexico to Bolivia and known archaeologically only from coastal Peru (3000 B.C.). Oldest archaeological cucurbits are …
Cultivated Plant Remains from Waterfall Cave, Chihuahua
Cultivated plants from Waterfall Cave include several varieties of maize, common beans, bottle gourd, and squash. Most of the corn is of the Pima-Papago race, and the whole plant complex is similar to the group of cultivated plants recently grown by the Papago and other Indians of southwestern Arizona and northwestern Mexico

Cucurbit Materials from Three Caves Near Ocampo, Tamaulipas
The cucurbit materials identified and discussed in this report were excavated in 1954 by the third author from 3 caves in the Sierra Madre near Ocampo, Tamaulipas, 5000 feet above sea level (see Fig. 1). These caves were excavated by an expedition under the auspices of the American Philosophical Society, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the Botanical Museum of Harvard University, and the National Museum of Canada
