Corn Fields and Vegetation – What was the basis for the presence of vegetation in the visualizations?
What was the relationship between the village and the fields around it? A number of the images show the agricultural fields near the Nodena village and the village in the background. The Nodena people raised a number of crops, principally corn, beans and squash. Though ancestral to the corn of today, the types of corn grown 500 years ago were generally smaller plants – but some grew to as tall as 10 feet. Beans and squash plants were often planted among the corn, though were chosen not to be present the visualizations presented here.
