The ancient farm was found at a Riverton site along the Wabash River in present-day Illinois.

According to a report in National Geographic News, because the area appears to have been well stocked with wild food sources, the discovery may rewrite some beliefs about what led people to start farming on the North American continent.

Rather than turning to farming as a matter of survival, the so-called Riverton people may have been exercising "free will" and engaging in a bit of gastronomic innovation, say archaeologists.
