Abstract: Studies of food remains from the Preceramic monumental site of El Paraiso, Peru (1800 to 1500 B.C.), have shed new light on a debate regarding the relative importance of seafood versus terrestrial resources and the role of cultigens in subsistence economies during the early development of Peruvian civilization. Fish was the primary animal food at the site whereas plant foods consisted of a mixture of cultivated resources (squashes, beans, peppers, and jicama) with an additional reliance on fruits (guava, lucuma, and pacae). Wild plants, especially the roots of sedges and cat-tail, also may have accounted for a substantial part of the diet. Cotton was a chief crop, used in making fishing tackle and the textiles that served as clothing and items of high value and status. As an example of the beginnings of civilization, El Paraiso is a case in which impressive architecture was built on a relatively simple subsistence economy and energy was expended in the production of recourses useful in local and regional exchange systems.

C.C.-L.S. 24(34):14 (pd 3422 f) "It seems to me that knowledge of the nutritive aspcts of certain food product might well be relevent to our aesthetic appreciation of it. For this reason, it might very well inter into our recognition of it as a genuine work of art. The point is, simply, that there often is a great deal of skill involved in producing an aesthetically appealing object which has at the same time, a 'non-aesthetic' foundation. Knowledge of this function ...my therefore enhance our total experience of the object."
