[Aztlan] 93. Andean Crops Cultivated Almost 10, 000 Years Ago | Agriculture | DISCOVER Magazine

[Benjamin Carter]

Wow, Discover really likes to over generalize.

Squash seeds directly AMS dated to *8535-8342 **cal. B.P.
*Peanut seeds directly AMS dated to* 8640-8435 cal. B.P.*
Cotton boll directly AMS dated to *6278-5948 cal. B.P.

*The squash dates are nice to see because they give good support to 
phytolith work from Las Vegas in Ecuador from approximately the same time.
