Archaeobotany of mound structures in Campo del Pucará, Catamarca Argentina (1750-1450 B.P.): Ceremonial use or rubbish dumps?

The archaeobotanical macroremains discussed in this study were recovered from six mound structures at Campo del Pucará (Andalgalá, Catamarca, northwest Argentina), a site inhabited between ca. 1750 and 1450 B.P. (A.D. 200-500). The most important identified taxon was Zea mays var. minima (maize), Ac...
