Pronunciation: [ˈiːstən ˌaɡɹɪkˈʌlt͡ʃəɹə͡l kˈɒmplɛks] (IPA) 
The Eastern Agricultural Complex, also known as EAC, refers to the group of plants domesticated by indigenous people in eastern North America roughly 4,500 to 3,200 years ago. There are various synonyms for this complex, such as the Eastern Woodland Agricultural Complex, Eastern Agricultural Tribe, and the pre-Columbian Eastern Agricultural System. Additionally, some archaeological researchers have used the terms Indigenous Horticulture and Native Cultigens to refer to the same set of crops, which include sunflowers, goosefoot, and marsh elder, among others. These crop species were cultivated until the arrival of European colonizers, who introduced their own crops and agricultural practices. Understanding the EAC and its synonyms provides insight into the complex agricultural history of indigenous people in North America.
