Terrestrial Hunting and Plant Collection
Terrestrial fauna exploited included deer, wild boar, and small mammals, harvested using bows, traps, and pit-falls. Plant foods—nuts, seeds, tubers, and fruits—were systematically collected and processed, with stone mortars and pestles appearing frequently in the archaeological record. Evidence for the deliberate management of Quercus (oak) forests suggests proto-agricultural intervention as early as 6,000 BCE, centuries before formal agricultural adoption.[^8]
