Hidden Cave in Nevada is a special place. There's not another like it as far as I know. But I don't know about this second harvest bidness! You would have to be really hard up for food!!!!

LOL, I dont have to read it to know what your talkin about.
Seems the Native American stock known as "Hokan" were given to doing that when they found themselves in dire straits. The Coahuiltecs of South Texas shocked Cabeza de Vaca, the first European to visit them, by doing this. The Coahuiltecs were also of Hokan stock. It is believed that in the Archaic period, they extended from the Gulf Coast to the Pacific. If you look at old maps with tribal locations, you will see how this may be true. Theres a wedge in between of Uto-Aztecans, and later Athabaskans....
But yeah, intresting concept like Molly said....think about that next time yall pick up a metate....

Some seeds survive digestion and can sprout after being, um...dumped.
I've read that prickly pear cactus have such a large range from being transported in the stomachs of natives. A thick patch of prickly pear is supposed to be sign of an indian latrine.
Tomatoes share this trait. In fact, a random tomatoe plant or group of plants near a wastewater treatment plant is a sure sign they spilled raw wastewater on the ground.
