The Eastern Agricultural Complex in the woodlands of eastern North America was one of about 10 independent centers of plant domestication in the pre-historic world. Incipient agriculture dates back to about 5300 BCE. By about 1800 BCE the Native Americans of the woodlands were cultivating several species of food plants, thus beginning a transition from a hunter-gatherer economy to agriculture. After 200 BCE when maize from Mexico was introduced to the Eastern Woodlands, the Native Americans of the eastern United States and adjacent Canada slowly changed from growing local indigenous plants to a maize-based agricultural economy. The cultivation of local indigenous plants other than squash and sunflower declined and was eventually abandoned. The formerly domesticated plants returned to their

  • L’Eastern Agricultural Complex (complexe agricole de l'est) situé dans les forêts de l'est de l'Amérique du Nord est l'un des quelque dix centres indépendants de domestication des plantes dans le monde préhistorique. L'agriculture naissante remonte à environ 5300 ans av. J.-C. Vers 1800 av. J.-C., les Amérindiens des forêts cultivaient plusieurs espèces de plantes alimentaires, amorçant ainsi la transition d'une économie de chasseurs-cueilleurs vers l'agriculture. Après 200 av. J.-C., lorsque le maïs a été introduit du Mexique dans les (en), les Amérindiens de l'est des États-Unis et du Canada adjacent sont lentement passés de la culture de plantes indigènes à un économie agricole basée sur le maïs. La culture des plantes indigènes locales autres que la courge et le tournesol a décliné et (fr)
