“…Although some basic spindle whorl types are generic, Cameron (2002) previously demonstrated that biconical spindle whorl shapes are so specific culturally that they can be used to trace the movement of prehistoric groups into various parts of Southeast Asia. In Mainland Southeast Asia, this distribution is entirely in keeping with the dispersal of rice, as established by Higham and Lu (1998).…”

This paper presents a consolidated balance-sheet on the botanical and historical evidence for the role of the cultivated African rice species (Oryza glaberrima Steud) in West and Central Africa as well as its geographical distribution. Because Oryza glaberrima has survived without the help and interference from human, it has developed adaptive and protective mechanisms for resisting major biotic and abiotic stresses. Oryza glaberrima is also very plastic with two major ecotypes: the floating and the non floating, and presents natural hybridization and admixture with its wild parents and the Asian cultivated rice Oryza sativa. Several ecotypes showed good aptitude in response to climatic change effects such as drought, flood, pests and diseases. This review presents several phenotypic diversity aspects on O. glaberrima and highlights its ecological and genetic structuring as well as the management of its diversity. Even if the African rice has undergone less diversification than the Asian rice in their evolutionary process, it presents some interesting assets which are being suggested to exploit through varietal improvement programs.

“…Southeast Asian archaeologists Higham and Lu 1998) have reconstructed the expansion of Neolithic rice farmers from South China into both Mainland and Island Southeast Asia during the fifth millennium BP. Other research (Cameron 2002(Cameron , 2011(Cameron , 2012a(Cameron , 2012b(Cameron , 2012c into the distribution of diagnostic cloth production tools established that these Neolithic agriculturalists also had fibre-based technologies (matting, basketry and cloth production) and gradually introduced these crafts into various parts of Southeast Asia during this critical period.…”
