Complexus agrarius orientalis

Hordeum pusillum in Montana crescens

Complexus agrarius orientalis,^[1] Anglice Eastern agricultural complex, est agricultura indigenarum Americae Septentrionalis et ab initio vallis Mississippianae, ubi ante adventum Europaeorum plantae utiles nonnullae domesticatae et cultivatae sunt. Nomen Anglicum Eastern Agricultural Complex annis 1940 ab anthropologo Radulpho Linton inventum est.^[2] Cultivatio huius complexús antiquissima, anni circiter 3 000 a.C.n., ad Phillips Spring Missouriae ab archaeologis reperta est, sed plantae silvestres earundem specierum iam anno circiter 6 000 a.C.n. carpebantur. Plantae huius traditionis principales sunt:

• Cucurbita pepo var. ozarkana
• Chenopodium berlandieri
• Iva annua
• Helianthus annuus

Plantas tardius additas esse censentur:

• Cucurbita argyrosperma
• Hordeum pusillum
• Polygonum erectum
• Phalaris caroliniana
