Abstract
Here, we present new data on how to identify both the wild and domesticated forms of kañawa (Chenopodium pallidicaule Aellen) in the archeological record of Andean South America using characteristics of their seed morphology. The ability to identify both the domesticated and wild forms of kañawa is an essential step in advancing our understanding of the processes of its domestication, diversification, and the role it has played in past food systems throughout the Andes.
