Tularosa cave submitted by durhamnature : Old photo of the cave, from "Mogollon Cultural..." via archive.org (Vote or comment on this photo)
Cave or Rock Shelter in Catron County, New Mexico.
Occupied from 350 BC to 1100 AD, the dry conditions preserved food remains and artifacts made from plants, including cloth, yucca fiber sandals and wooden arrow shafts.

Excavated by the Field Museum, Chicago, in 1949 and the 1950's, in order to search for more perishable artifacts associated with the Mogollon cultures discovered in the same general area. The results of those digs is a well documented catalog of finds and archive of the finds at the Field Museum. The catalog is currently being digitized for ease of use.

Note: Cave Stratigraphy provides early maize introduced from multiple Mexican Domestication Sources to US desert southwest.

Ancient maize followed two paths into the Southwest by bat400 on Thursday, 19 March 2015
(User Info | Send a Message)
After it was first domesticated from the wild teosinte grass in southern Mexico, maize, or corn, took both a high road and a coastal low road as it moved into what is now the U.S. Southwest, reports an international research team that includes a UC Davis plant scientist and maize expert.

The study, based on DNA analysis of corn cobs dating back over 4,000 years, provides the most comprehensive tracking to date of the origin and evolution of maize in the Southwest and settles a long debate over whether maize moved via an upland or coastal route into the U.S.

Study findings, which also show how climatic and cultural impacts influenced the genetic makeup of maize, will be reported Jan. 8 in the journal Nature Plants.

The study compared DNA from archaeological samples from the U.S. Southwest to that from traditional maize varieties in Mexico, looking for genetic similarities that would reveal its geographic origin.

"When considered together, the results suggest that the maize of the U.S. Southwest had a complex origin, first entering the U.S. via a highland route about 4,100 years ago and later via a lowland coastal route about 2,000 years ago," said Jeffrey Ross-Ibarra, an associate professor in the Department of Plant Sciences.

The study further provided clues to how and when maize adapted to a number of novel pressures, ranging from the extreme aridity of the Southwest climate to different dietary preferences of the local people.

Excavations of multiple stratigraphic layers of Tularosa cave in New Mexico allowed researchers to compare genetic data from samples from different time periods.

"These unique data allowed us to follow the changes occurring in individual genes through time," said lead author Rute Fonseca of the University of Copenhagen. Researchers used these data to identify genes showing evidence of adaptation to drought and genes responsible for changes in starch and sugar composition leading to the development of sweet corn, desired for cultivation by indigenous people and later Europeans.
