| Sumario: | This paper assesses the main hypotheses for the southernmost dispersal of agricultural crops in the Americas before European arrival. It takes into consideration the calibration of dates from the Argentine North Patagonia and southern Chile as well as new archaeobotanical data and taxon dates for two areas on the western slope. While in the east the presence of domestic plants is sporadic, in the west there was a blossoming of domestic crops around AD 900–1000. Our results suggest that in the east, it is not possible to argue that people practiced agriculture, given the disperse presence of domestic plants, the environmental conditions, and local lifeways. However, in the west, agricultural practices were developed. Despite evidence of the movement of ideas, artifacts, and people back and forth between slopes, current archaeobotanical knowledge precludes more precise conclusions about the circulation of domestic plants. |
