Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 10 page overview of the details revealed by the archaeological record about early agriculture and animal husbandry. This paper emphasizes that the archaeological record is sometimes a matter of contention in the way in which it is interpreted. The “Neolithic Revolution” proposed by some, for example, is believed by others to have not been a choreographed transition of hunter/gatherers to farmers and nomads to extensive cities but rather a more gradual progression which varied in intensity and timing geographically and chronologically. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

This interaction is particularly well documented in the area we now refer to as Egypt. This area was, in fact, one of the agricultural centers of the world and
as such it has generated a particularly vivid archaeological record. The archaeological record documents the fact that Neolithic man in Egypt
employed extensive agricultural practices to meet their need for food. They farmed and raised animals and settled in agricultural villages. To supplement their agricultural pursuits they also gathered
nuts, seeds, fruits and other products from their environment. These early peoples hunted and fished as well and had the capability of making bread and of weaving. Through
archaeological excavations we have documented an extensive array of both the wild plants and animals and the domesticated plants and animals which were used by early man in this area.
The archaeological record documents the fact that the people in the area we now know as Egypt went through a progression in their
subsistence patterns which was very similar to that which early man wen through all over the world. They evolved from hunters/gatherers to agriculturists in a relatively short period of
time. The earliest of the hunter/gathers had lived in groups of small numbers who wandered from one areas to the other carrying their few possessions with them as they
went and living in makeshift structures for only short periods of time. The early hunting/gathering tribes had little incidence of disease
