Residuos de almidones y el uso de plantas durante el Holoceno Medio en el Cauca Medio (Colombia)
ABSTRACT: This paper presents starch grain data that suggest plant usage by human foragers that inhabited the San Eugenio River Basin (Middle Cauca) in the fi rst half of the middle Holocene. A large number of starch grains (325) were recovered from grinding tools (manos and bases) from the preceram...

| Summary: | ABSTRACT: This paper presents starch grain data that suggest plant usage by human foragers that inhabited the San Eugenio River Basin (Middle Cauca) in the fi rst half of the middle Holocene. A large number of starch grains (325) were recovered from grinding tools (manos and bases) from the preceramic levels at La Pochola archaeological site. The data suggest the exploitation of carbohydrate-rich plants, including a variety of Phaseolus (wild or domesticated), making the Middle Cauca region an important place to study the domestication and expansion of this genus. We then propose a forest management model based on the selective use of plants and the increase in local plant diversity that preceded the arrival and use of foreign domesticates. |
