AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Based on the laboratory analysis of carbonized plant remains from nine different sites in Western Morelos, this study presents a catalog of economic plant usage in pre-Hispanic Mexico during the period specified (i. e., 500 BC -900 AD). Because of good preservation conditions at Coatlan del Rio, most plant remains reported in this article pertain to the Escarpa phase (500 BC-200 AD); therefore readers seeking paleobotanical information on Xochicalco alone should use this paper with caution.
