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.
There are a number of theories on why domestication began. Select two of the major
theories and compare and contrast them.
