To the north arena of Chinese agriculture, the Central Plain is flanked by the Gobi desert and beyond that a belt of steppe that continues westwards across Eurasia. In Western Asia early crops were processed for a flour-focused food system. While grinding stones were used in prehistoric China, boiling and steaming of grains and other foods appear to have been and remained the predominant East Asian methods for preparing foods. | To the north arena of Chinese agriculture, the Central Plain is flanked by the Gobi desert and beyond that a belt of steppe that continues westwards across Eurasia.

Agricultural studies of the Mississippian peoples and the population center of Cahokia have focused heavily on the adoption and spread of maize. Gale J. Fritz seeks to shift this focus to other crops domesticated in mid-continent North America that predate the adoption of corn (maize) and that remained important staple crops. | |||
