An Archaeological ProblemThe following multiple-choice questions refer to the paragraph below. Base your answers on the information given below, your archaeological knowledge, and common sense.Recent excavations in the Levant have uncovered a small settlement of approximately twenty houses. These structures were circular in shape and had rock-wall foundations. A number of burials were found in a small cemetery adjacent to the settlement. Storage pits and roasting areas for preparing plant foods also were found, but there was no evidence for domesticated plants at the site. Animal bones from deer, gazelle, sheep, and goat were common at the site. The investigators noticed that a high number of young male animals were represented in the sheep bones. This difference was not noted among the
bones of the other species. Other materials from the site included sickle blades, bone tools, charcoal, and grinding slabs.The earliest known domesticated cereal, rye, dates to: A. 9000 B.C. B. 11,000 B.C. C. 8000 B.C. D. 10,000 B.C. E. 12,000 B.C.
