I think, maybe, Gobekli Tepe proves agriculture goes back even farther in some places.

In Mary Settegast’s “Plato Prehistorian” an RC date of a multirow barley sample from Anatolia came out at 14,000 BP, and that was the uncalibrated date, so, probably older than that. The oldest known traces of a prehistoric village consisting of postholes (at least used to be) in China dated (not RC, obviously) 800,000 years old. I’d guess that any settled living is both made possible by and greatly enhanced by at least some degree of agriculture.

Whoops, in the Settegast part of that, should have read that she cited that find, it wasn’t hers per se. [blush]
