Archaeobotanical and genetic analysis of modern plant materials are drawing a complex scenario for the origins cereal agriculture in Levant. This paper presents an improved method study early farming harvesting systems based on texture gloss observed sickle blades through confocal microscopy. Using this method, we identify different activities (unripe, semi-ripe ripe reaping reed other grass cutting) quantitatively evaluate their change during time when cultivation started domesticated crops...
