Was it farming or gathering with a sickle tool?

Sickles were found, the fact that the seeds found were mostly of only 13 types argues for cultivation and the grinding stone argues for the fact that rather then being something that they ate when they could find it grains were something that they harvested repeatedly.

We have been farming a much longer time then people think.

Atlit Yam and Ohalo II are two of my favorite areas of study right now. Yeah they are not big stone buildings but to me they are far more interesting.
