ABSTRACT Starch grain, phytolith, and macrobotanical evidence is expanding our understanding of the Lucayan transported landscape, plant food preparation, and cooking practices. Starch grain analyses reveal that the early colonists (a.d. 700/800–1100) of the central Bahamas brought a package of domesticated plants comprised of Calathea latifolia, Capsicum sp., Cucurbitaceae, Manihot esculenta, and Zea mays from their ancestral homelands, which they processed with artifacts made from local and imported materials. Late Lucayan period (a.d. 1100 to ca. 1530) macrobotanical remains yield evidence for Zea mays. Fruit-bearing trees such as the Sapotaceae and Arecaceae are found throughout the occupational sequence. Similarities in plant taxa and resemblances to tool form and use from other places in the Bahama archipelago and Antilles indicate shared plant-related food preparation and culinary practices.

作物分散和Lucayan工具的使用：通过淀粉粒，植石，宏观植物学和人工制品研究调查巴哈马中部运输景观的创建

摘要淀粉粒，植物硅酸盐和宏观植物学证据正在扩大我们对卢卡扬运输景观，植物食物制备和烹饪方法的理解。淀粉的谷物分析表明，巴哈马中部的早期殖民者（公元700 / 800–1100年）从祖先家乡带来了一整套驯化的植物，其中包括Calathea latifolia，Capsicum sp。，Cucurbitaceae，Manihot esculenta和Zea mays。用本地和进口材料制成的文物进行处理。卢卡扬晚期（公元1100年至1530年），大型植物遗骸为玉米提供了证据。在整个职业序列中都发现了有果实的树木，如桔梗和槟榔科。
