Spread of eight-rowed maize from the prehistoric Southwest - USA : Harvard University, 1963. - Printed

The origin and diffusion of maize (Zca mays) in the North American Southwest is of interest to both the maize breeder and the archaeologist. The interest of the maize breeder lies in his search for the sources of effective germplasm for use in the development of better maize hybrids. The archaeologist is interested in the history of maize because of its association with the growth and spread of those prehistoric cultures in which this cereal played a prime role.
