Cucurbits were recovered at archaeological sites from three geographical areas: 1) Coastal Perú; 2) The Andean Highlands, and 3) The Andean region of Northern Argentina. Analysis indicates that cucurbits were cultivated in the Coastal Plain of Peru as long ago as 4000-3000 B.C. perhaps longer. Lagenaria siceraria Standl, Cucurbit moschata, Duch, ex. Poir, and the perennial squash, C. ficifolia Bouché were among the first cultigens. At a later date C. maxima duch is recorded from this area. It is probabl that C. moschata and C. ficifolia reached the area from Central America or Mexico.
