“…Storage pits may differ in content, shape, size, depth, association with structures, and lining material. Materials used in the linings of storage pits often included bark (Bushnell 1919;Densmore 1929;Hagen 1958;Hall 1962;Kinietz 1965;Lehmer 1954;Smith 1972), grass Bushnell 1922;Fletcher and LaFlesche 1911;Harrington 1960;Krause 1972;Lehmer 1954;Will and Hyde 1917;Will and Spinden 1906;, or both bark and grass (Dragoo 1971;Mills 1904Mills , 1906Ritchie 1934;.…”

otanists, and archaeologists. My short symposium had turned into a day-long affair. During the months leading up to the conference, 1 responded to over 50 requests for information about the sym¬ posium from as far away as California and England. What all of this told me is that there is a lot of active paleoethnobotanical research going on the Northeast, and, just as importantly, it also told me that there is a great deal of interest in the results of that research. The Northeast has been almost invisible as paleoethnobotany has grown to be an important discipline in Eastern Woodlands archaeology. This volume is presented as an attempt to raise the visibility of paleoeth¬ nobotanical research being carried out in the Northeast. As such, although most of the chapters are concerned in one way or another with prehis¬ toric agriculture, there is no single paleoethnob¬ otanical theme guiding the volume's content. Not all of the symposium participants were able to contribute chapters to the volume, but a number of individuals active in Northeast pale¬ oethnobotanical research that did not participate in the symposium were able to contribute chap¬ ters. Original contributors to the symposium,

“…Only in the late summer or early fall did the vegetation dry to the point that it could be readily ignited. Tribal interviewees note, ''the wokas came back better when they did that'' (see Boller 1972;Lewis 1982;Minto 1898). Likewise, a number of families retain stories of ''weeding out tules'' so that the wokas grew better in areas that were not burned.…”

Conventionally, the Klamath and Modoc Indians of south-central Oregon and northeastern California are depicted as hunter-gatherers, who took no active role in the management of plant communities. In the course of a multi-year ethnographic effort, however, tribal elders have identified a complex of interrelated plant management practices that are consistent with contemporary definitions of plant cultivation. These include the management of black huckleberry (Vaccinium membranaceum) yields in subalpine environments, the management of marsh-edge environments for yellow pond lily (Nuphar polysepalum), the tending of ''epos'' or yampah (Perideridia spp.) digging sites, and the selective harvest of tree cambium, sap, and wood-especially from pines (Pinus spp.) and junipers (Juniperus spp). Together, these accounts suggest that plant management was widespread, that it often served to geographically concentrate culturally preferred species, and that it was rooted as much in cosmological motivations as economic ones. Factors contributing to the decline of traditional management practices are also briefly addressed.

Ediblemaize is an important food crop, providing energy and nutrients to meet human health and nutritional requirements. However, how environmental pressures and human activity have shaped the ediblemaizemetabolome remains unclear.In this study, we collected 452 diverse edible maize accessions worldwide, comprising waxy, sweet and field maize. A total of 3020 non-redundant metabolites, including 802 annotated metabolites, were identified by a two-step optimized approach, which generated the most comprehensive annotated metabolites dataset in plants to date. Although specific metabolite divergencewas detected in Field-Sweet and Field-Waxy divergences, convergent metabolite divergencewas the dominant divergence pattern. We identified hub genes in all metabolite classes by mGWAS hotspot analysis. Seventeen and 16 hub genes were selected as the key divergence genes for flavonoids and lipids, respectively. Surprisingly, almost all of these genes were under non-parallel selection, which indicated non-parallel selection was the main genetic mechanism of convergent metabolic divergence. Furthermore, UGT1 and C1 in the flavonoid pathway, and KCS1 and LPP2 in the lipid pathway, played different roles in convergent metabolite divergence. Based on our research, we established the first edible maize metabolome database, EMMDB. We successfully applied EMMDB for precision improvement of nutritional and flavor traits, and an elite inbred line 6644_2 was bred with greatly improved in contents of flavonoids, lysophosphatidylcholines, lysophosphatidylethanolamines, and vitamins. These findings provide insights into the underlying genetic mechanisms of edible maize metabolite divergence and provide a database for the breeding improvement of edible maize flavor and nutritional traits by metabolome precision design.
