内容説明

Scholars from the fields of archaeology, agronomy, genetics, linguistics and biochemistry address methodological, substantive, and interpretive aspects of understanding prehistoric maize. They examine traditional and new methods for analyzing archaeological maize and evaluating evolutionary relationships among maize types; evaluate patterns of prehistoric maize variation in South America, Mesoamerica, and North America; and explore the many cultural roles of maize in the rich texture of indigenous cultures.
