Rainfed cultivation is the most pervasive in areal expanse and the source of most production in the majority of the regions of the world, now and in the past. Pre-Hispanic Middle America was no exception (Palerm 1955, 1962; Price 1971; Sanders, Parsons, and Santley 1979). Despite recognition of their importance, rainfed systems fail to draw the amount of scholarly attention paid to irrigation and wetland cultivation in studies of the pre-Hispanic Americas. This apparent paradox fo11ows partly from the absence of substantia landscape imprints left by many rained systems, thus precluding detailed documentation.
