By: Upham, Steadman, MacNeish, Richard S..
Abstract
Upham and MacNeish discuss the different types of corn that have been found in this region and the dates associated with them. Their data indicate agriculture was earlier here than in the rest of the southwest and that it probably arrived via the trade route to Casas Grandes in Mexico. Upham and MacNeish discuss the evolution of corn from 4600 BP to 200 BP. Only the data that pertain to the Fresnal, Hueco, and Mesilla phases were marked for OCM (Outline of Cultural Materials) codes.
