I had already read the SD article but had no direct link to the paper, so I was like missing info.

What puzzles me a bit in this issue is that all the granary data comes from PPNA sites, which are by definition already Neolithic (transitional if you wish). The emphasis seems to be in that they still did not have the modified plants we see later on but only wild variants.

So I’m kind of confused: is Kuijt trying to re-define PPNA as Mesolithic (not fully Neolithic but transitional)? Or is just a technical matter?

You don’t often see that .
