Аннотация к книге "Agriculture in the prehistoric Southwest"

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Agriculture in the prehistoric Southwest describes the agricultural practices of the Indians inhabiting the American Southwest, which includes the states of Arizona and New Mexico plus portions of surrounding states and neighboring Mexico. Maize (corn) was the dominant crop. Introduced from Mesoamerica, it was first cultivated in the Southwest about 2100 BC. Sedentary cultures based on farming developed afterwards including the Hohokam, Mogollon, Anasazi, and Patayan. Due to a deficiency in precipitation throughout the region, irrigation and several techniques of water harvesting and conservation were essential for successful agriculture.
