Corn was first grown in Wisconsin about 900 AD during the Late Woodland Tradition. By the Oneota Tradition, about 1300 AD in La Crosse, corn agriculture became very important. The corncobs were much smaller than today's varieties, as seen in the photos.  Fields were dotted with low corn hills with beans growing up the corn stalks. Squashes grown between the corn plants would have served as mulch, to keep the soil from drying out and blocking weeds from growing.  For more information about Wisconsin’s first farmers visit: https://www.uwlax.edu/mvac/process-of-archaeology/interpretation/farming/

Linen Market, Dominica

Artist: Agostino Brunias (Italian, 1728–1796)

Date: ca. 1780

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Yale Center for British Art, New Haven, CT, United States

Description

Underneath a bright red parasol held by an attendant, an elegantly dressed woman in white examines textiles for sale. In this bustling linen and vegetable market, enslaved people, free people of color, and white people visit with one another and buy and sell their wares. In this scene, Brunias pays careful attention to textiles, both the linen for sale and the striped and checked cotton worn by women in the market. The ships in the background hint at the global trade networks involved in importing these textiles. Brunias drew on ethnographic images in his work, and here the gazes of the figures reinforce the acts of looking and comparing — heightened by the presence of a woman who surveils the scene from a window.
