Maize in pre-Columbian India is documented in my article with Anne Z. Parker, "Maize Ears Sculptured in 12th and 13th Century A.D. India as Indicators of Pre-Columbian Diffusion," Economic Botany 43 (2), 1989, pp. 164-180. The following color illustrations of a few of the sculptures discussed in that article show more detail than was possible in the published black and white photographs that accompanied the article.

I was going to post an excerpt of each of the three parts as a separate topic, but not sure that will fly. Here are the links to parts two and three:

If one does turn up, we’ll know that the shooter wasn’t representative of authentic Islam, and probably wouldn’t have shot the dino if he’d just had a job, or even a fancy restaurant where he could get food.

Help me out. I see corn, but no hole.

[left that other site]

You got the gist!(Or is it the Grist?)

Also the subtly flipped bird!

I see you worked your way through the maize of Symbolism! hehehe

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Two minutes after I posted my query, I spotted the flipped bird. Too late to take the query back.

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

Why post a 15 year old article?

[left that other site]

LOL!

[A Formerly Proud Canadian]

An a-maize-ing article.

[left that other site]

Indeed. But a wee bit corny, nonetheless.

[SunkenCiv]

Why read? Why ask?

Dunno ‘bout arrow heads in dinosaur bones, but here is what looks like a bullet hole in an auroch’s skull...
