My website on "Maize in pre-Columbian India", at
http://www.econ.ohio-state.edu/jhm/arch/maize.html ,
has been newly expanded to include a review of
Shakti M. Gupta's 1996 book _Plants in Indian Temple
Art_, which authoritatively confirms Carl Johannessen's identification
of maize in 12th and 13th century temple sculptures in India.
Gupta goes on to identify at least 5 other New World plants
in pre-Columbian Indian sculptures, including sunflower,
pineapple, and monstera (split-leaf philodendron).

Also added are my comments on Jean Andrews' article,
"Diffusion of Mesomaerican Food Complex to Southeastern
Europe", from _Geographical Review_, 1993.

Enjoy!
