By: Belfer-Cohen, Anna.

Abstract
Belfer-Cohen writes about the Natufian in its core area of the Levant. She believes that it exists as a culture only in this area and that the term shouldn't be used as a time period. She discusses the how and why sedentism occurred and believes that cereals were domesticated rather quickly at the end of the Natufian.
