Many people in the Southeast culture area might have been farmers because they lived in a humid, fertile region. This geographic characteristic provided suitable conditions for agriculture, allowing communities to cultivate crops such as maize, beans, and squash, which were staples of their diet. The combination of fertile soil and a favorable climate supported the development of more sedentary agricultural societies in this region.
