Other points, such as St. Alba ...

Ancient Mesoamerican agriculture dates to the Archaic period of Mesoamerican chronology (8000-2000 BC). During this period, many of the hunter gatherer micro-bands in the region began to cultivate wild plants.

The plants could have been brought purposely, or by accident. The former could have been done by bringing a wild plant ...
