Well, Yuri, I have been watching this debate for some time now from the
sidelines, and I have a question I would like you to answer:

With all the current work on opal phytolyths, which in the America are now
about getting to determining the varietal level of corn, have any been
described from the places you claim corn appeared? 

After all, when possible this is something archaeologists are doing on a
regular basis -- getting the insides of a few pots scanned for those
teeny, tiny microsopic residues of the silica bodies which plants develop
and which can be identified. 

You can fight and argue all you want, but in the end the evidence will
determine.....
