Hi! This is my first thread so I hope I didn´t put it wrong, actually I was thinking about puting it in the "Near East" forum but it´s about both Egypt and Sudan so I puted it here...
Anyhow, I´m looking for some info about the early agriculture of Egypt, Sudan and East Africa. As far as Wikipeda goes it´s:
Sudan:
By the eighth millennium BC, people of a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolithic - Neolithic culture had settled into a sedentary way of life there in fortified http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mud-brick - mud-brick villages, where they supplemented http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunting - hunting and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fishing - fishing on the Nile with http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grain - grain gathering and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle - cattle herding.
Egypt:
Twenty some http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaeology - archaeological sites in upper Nubia evidence a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cereal - grain - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grinding - grinding http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neolithic - Neolithic http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture - culture called the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qada - Qadan culture , which practiced wild grain harvesting along the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nile - Nile during the beginning of the Sahaba Daru Nile phase, when desiccation in the Sahara caused residents of the Libyan oases to retreat into the Nile valley.
What I´m looking for is of course information, books and other material about these early cultures that used wild grain for food. Aparently this is a culture that developed localy without influence of the neolithic cultures of the Middle East?
Where did this kind of wild grain-grinding culture first appear? Egypt or Sudan?
Cheers!
