"This book examines one of the thorniest problems of ancient American archaeology:
the origins and domestication of maize" ; "This book examines one of the thorniest
problems of ancient American archaeology: the origins and domestication of maize.
Using a variety of scientific techniques, Duccio Bonavia explores the development
of maize, its adaptation to varying climates, and its fundamental role in ancient
American cultures. An appendix (by Alexander Grobman) provides the first ever comprehensive
compilation of maize genetic data, correlating this data with the archaeological evidence
presented throughout the book. This book provides a unique interpretation of questions
of dating and evolution, supported by extensive data, following the spread of maize
from South to North America, and eventually to Europe and beyond"
