Dear Dr. Perry: I can send you also a list of remains recovered in Argentine, they are few and correspond to dry seeds or fruits, not charred, let me know if you are interested and I will be glad to send you the list,

Good afternoon-
I am currently working on a manuscript that discusses the ancient use of chile peppers in the Americas. In recent years at the SAA meetings, I have listened to reports of charred seeds from various sites, and I am hoping that some of these finds have been subsequently published so I can cite them. I am unable to find any recent references in the library databases, and would appreciate any help.
Cheers-
