Maize (also known as corn) played a similar role in early American civilizations as barley did in Mesopotamian culture, as it was a staple crop that was widely cultivated and used for food, trade, and religious practices. Squash and potatoes were also important crops in early American civilizations, but did not have the same cultural and economic importance as maize. Millet was an important crop in other cultures, particularly in Asia and Africa, but did not have a significant role in early American civilizations.
