I was in contact with the library where I read the article and
other
works
of the Prof. Due to it's limited open hours during July I
can't go
there
until monday. The other library here in Gothenburg where the
journal in
question can be read will not open until 30th July.

so you'll, of course, give references to these articles.
author,
title,
journal, etc.?

Done so earlier this week.

And to make it easier for Tedd to follow this debate, it's best to
repeat the reference to Hjelmqvist's article, which can be found
here:


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pre-Columbian_trans-oceanic_contact#Agriculture
(see note 4).

Hakon Hjelmqvist (1905-1999) was the Swedish pioneer of
archaeobotany,
who was honoured shortly after his death by having the following
conference volume dedicated to him:
http://www.umu.se/archaeology/publikation/ae/viklund2002_eng.html

In other words, this is an unusually serious and authoritative and
well-documented claim, published in a peer-reviewed journal by a
scholar
whose name is only ever spoken with reverence. I haven't read his
article on the alleged find of cayenne pepper in medieval Lund (I
have
only one issue of that journal here at home, from 1991 -- it has an
article by him about garden plants in medieval Lund but no mention
of
Capsicum), so I don't know what explanations he suggests for the
apparent presence of this Transatlantic plant in Precolumbian
Europe.

Hi Alan,
nice to see you back from holiday and fit for next word-fight.


Thank you.


The best work of the Professor is in my opinion his
"Die älteste Geschichte der Kulturpflanzen in Schweden: The oldest
history
of cultivated plants in Sweden , 1955 ISSN 0006-8195

Why do you think it is better than Beiträge zur Kenntnis der
prähistorischen Nutzpflanzen in Schweden : [Contributions to the
knowledge of the prehistoric economic plants of Sweden] from 1979?
