Village On The Euphrates by Sean A. Moore
From Foraging to Farming at Abu Hureyra
A detailed archaeological synthesis of the settlement at Abu Hureyra on the middle Euphrates, it traces the community’s transition from Late Pleistocene foragers to early Neolithic farmers. Drawing on plant, animal, and architectural evidence, it reconstructs shifts in subsistence and daily life—intensive wild harvesting, early cultivation, animal management, evolving housing, and new tools—while situating these changes amid climatic events such as the Younger Dryas. The result is a landmark case study in the origins of agriculture and the social consequences of sedentism in Southwest Asia.
