Plant Migration
Mapping the World's Vegetation
Biogeographical theory and cultural analogies
This article is intended as a warning against giving biogeographical models more respect than they deserve. Few academics are primarily concerned with biotic distributions. Many taxonomists and ecologists have geographical interests, but they must cope with hundreds of thousands of species. Most biogeographers are too absorbed in field exploration to have much time for general theory. The separate scholarly traditions of museum and mathematical b…
Description and Classification of Vegetation
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…
Oceanic Islands and Biogeographical Theory
T HE branch ofbiogeography concerned with life-forms and physiognomic formations was founded on the study of altitudinal zonation on mountains. These sharp local patterns were soon joined with broad regional patterns under a simple theory of climatic and, secondarily, edaphic determinism. Since physiognomy is supposed to show convergence in similar environments, regardless of origin, processes of migration and evolution have been of slight intere…
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…
Identity of Archaeologic Grain Amaranths from the Valley of Tehuacan, Puebla, Mexico
Coxcatlán Cave has yielded the earliest records of two domesticated species still grown as minor grain crops in Mexico. Amaranthus cruentus, previously unknown archaeologically, is tentatively identified from a level dated at about 4000 B.C. and positively identified from six levels dated between about 2500 B.C. and the time of the Conquest. Amaranthus hypochondriacus was found at two levels dated about A.D. 500. There is no evidence that either …
Canavalia Beans in American Prehistory
The naturally pantropical genus Canavalia is the source of four domesticated species, of which C. plagiosperma and C. ensiformis evidently evolved under aboriginal New World cultivation. Their exact origins are uncertain because the archaeological record is concentrated in dry regions where they arrived as irrigated crops. Prehistoric cultivation of C. plagiosperma is known only from coastal Peru where it has been grown continuously for at least …
