Phytolith Evidence for the Early Presence of Maize in Southern Quebec
It has long been believed that maize ( Zea mays spp. mays ) was introduced in Quebec at around A.D. 1000, at the very beginning of the Late Woodland period. The identification and dating of maize phytoliths extracted from the carbonized encrustations on the interior surfaces of Native American ceramic vessels from three sites located in the St. Lawrence River valley, namely the Hector-Trudel, Station-4, and Place-Royale sites, indicate that this …
Taking Variation Seriously: Testing the Steatite Mast-Processing Hypothesis with Microbotanical Data from the Hunter's Home Site, New York
In a series of recent publications, Truncer (1999, 2004a, 2004b, 2006) presents a hypothesis that during what he interprets as the peak period of use (2500-1500 cal. B.C.) in eastern North America, steatite (soapstone) vessels were specialized cooking tools used to process mast. A key component of Truncer's hypothesis building is his interpretation of an analysis of fatty acids extracted from charred residue adhering to four steatite sherds, whic…
Ptolemaic Agriculture, “Syrian Wheat”, and Triticum aestivum
Phytolith Evidence for Early Maize (Zea Mays) in the Northern Finger Lakes Region of New York
The timing of crop introductions, particularly of maize (Zea mays), has been of long-standing interest to archaeologists working in various regions of eastern North America. The earliest confirmed macrobotanical evidence for maize in New York is A.D. 1000. We report on the results of accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS) dating, phytolith analysis, and stable carbon isotope analysis of carbonized cooking residues adhering to the interior surface of…
A Multidisciplinary Approach to Understanding the Initial Introduction of Maize into Coastal Ecuador
Reconsiderando la introducción del maíz en el occidente de América del Sur
Numerosos investigadores en las ciencias sociales y naturales han discutido el origen y antigüedad del maíz en la región noroeste de América del Sur. En este artículo nos referimos a la evidencia disponible y a algunas de las teorías de los estudiosos sobre este tema. Presentamos además un nuevo método que permite establecer los usos que se le han dado al maíz, a través del estudio de los opalofitolitos encontrados en restos carbonizados proceden…
