“The question led Barton to scholars like David Morgan and Kristen Gremillion, and obscure discoveries in places like Kentucky’s Red River Gorge, a 29,000-acre canyon system in the Daniel Boone National Forest.

Before the Gorge finds, archaeologists “assumed that the peoples of this region just sat around passively, waiting for others to send them the gift of agriculture,” says Morgan, director of the National Park Service’s Southeast Archaeological Center. “But that simply wasn’t the case.”

Plant materials recovered by archaeologists in the Gorge in the 1980s and ‘90s led to a historical revision “that fundamentally alters how we think about indigenous peoples of the [precontact eastern U.S.],” says Morgan. A trove of ancient seeds debunked then-dominant theories “depicting early inhabitants as backwater nomads that didn’t acquire agriculture—and thus the markers of complex society—until after A.D. 1, when maize arrived from Mesoamerica.”

Gremillion, a paleoethnobotanist, chairs the Ohio State University department of anthropology and is the author of Ancestral Appetites: Foods in Prehistory. She started working in the Gorge around 1989, using techniques such as direct radiocarbon dating and high-magnification microscopy to study ancient caches of seeds, food stores, cooking refuse, and human feces. She found specimens buried under massive stone outcroppings and in caves—all in remarkable condition.

“We found things like 3,000-year-old sunflower heads and baskets full of seeds,” says Gremillion, who compares the digs to opening storage vaults. The finds were unprecedented, and old vanguard archaeologists were dismissive. “They said the materials couldn’t possibly be so old.”

Gremillion’s research proved them wrong; the region’s indigenous peoples had been farming for more than 5,000 years. The work helped establish the Eastern Woodlands as an independent center of prehistoric plant domestication and agricultural development—alongside areas like southeast Asia, Mexico, and the Fertile Crescent.”

Some Nicollo Headcanons

He has chronic pain from Tartarus and the jar. He wears leg braces and uses comfy yet stylish canes for support.

He rambles in Italian with Chiara Benvenuti and slips into an Italian accent while talking English at times.

Will calls him "Machiavelli" and in turn, Nico calls him "Shakespeare" and overuses "Andrew" just to annoy him. It works.

He has brown-green heterochromia. The only hetero thing about him, so he says.

After Tartarus: Electric Booglaoo, he has claw scars across his face, starting from his right eyelid and going down to his lips, vaguely resembling a skull. His scarred eye is partially blind, turned white.

Jules-Albert takes him on thrill rides whenever he's bored and they break minor traffic rules together.

Horror theme prompt!!! Someone discovers Jason’s grave dug open and his body lost. At the same time, Nico di Angelo disappears from the surface. Then come many arguements and blames and speculations.

And miles and miles away from the Camps, speeding into the night on the back seat of Jules-Albert’ racing car, Nico holds tight the skeletal hand - there was still flesh clinging on it, rotten slowly - in between his pale, shaking fingers. He tears his eyes away from the flashes of stars to look at his companion. The fleshly-summoned skeleton has eyes of two hollow sockets. There’s a black-framed glass hanging awkwardly across the skeleton’s half-decomposed nose. Some of his ribs are cracked, holding up only by Nico’s stubborness. His lips are gone, but the scar is still visible. So is the smile.

Nico smiles back. And then lets his head fall on the mushy flesh and sharp broken bones of Jason’s skeleton. 

He closes his eyes, and there are golden stars behind his eyelids.
