The Troyville-Coles Creek people lived on gathered wild plants and local domesticates, and maize was of only minor importance.[4] Acorns, persimmons, palmetto, maygrass, and squash were all more important than maize.[4] Tobacco was cultivated as well, and protein came from deer and smaller mammals, but the bounty of the region kept maize from being adopted as a staple until as late as the thirteenth century CE.[4]
