Abstract

The article comments on the paper "Cultigens in prehistoric Eastern North America: Changing paradigms," by Thomas J. Riley, Richard Edging and Jack Rossen in a 1990 issue of "Current Anthropology." It is pointed out that carbon-14 and thermoluminescence dates suggest that the initial Neolithic migrants must have entered the West Indies by 500 BC.
