It was just so large and integrated that the colonists didn't recognize it as cultivated.
It had a larger scale and longer timeframe and more complex than "farms".
The Vikings also reported hazelnuts growing in the place they called “Vinland”
The Wampanoag people were living in houses and growing cropping in rows when the Pilgrims arrived. The funny thing is, the Pilgrims arrived not knowing how to grow crops, and would have starved without Native American support.
my ancestors were cultivating grapes and making wine 1000 years before that 😉
