Partitioning variance in maize landrace flowering time by cultural affiliation, geography, and genetic relatedness (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Kelly Swarts. Lewis Borck. Lynda Prim. Andrea Stanley. Edward Buckler.

Domesticates are uniquely both biological organisms but also cultural artifacts. As organisms, domesticates are shaped by the natural history of the progenitor and adaptation to diverse environments. As artifacts, domesticates record the cultivation practices, migration histories, cultural interactions and values of associated human groups. Using a population of maize landrace hybrids from the Greater Southwest (US and Mexico) that have been phenotyped for flowering time, we test how much of the...


Tranquilla site (PTF MLP 13): a critical evaluation of the Early Ceramic Tradition life style in the Choapa Valley (IVth Region, Chile) (2016)
DOCUMENT Citation Only Carolina Belmar. Silvia Alfaro. Luciana Quiroz.

This is reinforced by the absence of permanent and long term occupations in the valley. This scenario suffered an interesting shift with the discovery PTF MLP 13, a domestic site associated to a cemetery that counts with an important stratigraphic deposit, great amount of ceramic sherds and milling stones. These findings...
