The agricultural hearth near Guatemala particularly in the Pacific coastal plain, is known as the "Pacific Coast Agricultural Complex," where early agricultural practices and the domestication of crops and animals laid the foundation for the development of complex societies in Mesoamerica.
Some of the earliest crops that originated in Guatemala include maize, beans, squash, chili peppers, and cacao. As for livestock, the earliest domesticated animals in the region likely included turkeys and dogs.
Agriculture diffused into Guatemala through migration, trade, and cultural exchange with neighboring regions like Mesoamerica, through the movement of people and goods, leading to the adoption and adaptation of agricultural techniques.
