Hunting and gathering (food foraging)
Subsistence technology

Back 5

- freeganism involves gathering of discarded food in the context of an urban environment

- gleaning involves the gathering of food that traditional farmers have left behind in their fields

the herding of animals, such as cattle, goats, sheep, and camels

Front 8

Horticulture
Subsistence technology

Back 8

an early type of agriculture still found in some areas of limited agricultural development. Seeds are planted by hand with the aid of a simple digging stick or hoe. and specific tasks, such as planting, weeding, and harvesting, are often assigned to either men or women. In many instances, a particular society may depend mainly on food raised by women, supplemented by game hunted by men.

Front 9

Plow agriculture
Subsistence technology

Back 9

The combination of plow and animal traction enables man to greatly increase the amount of food he can produce. But plow agriculture requires specific kinds of soil and a technology that allows for farming the land over long periods of time without significantly depleting soil nutrients

Front 22

Four generalization about the origins of domesticated plants based upon modern research:

Back 22

1. Women made first advances
2. Common events of
3. First happened in difficult environments
4. villages developed slowly for hundreds of years)

Front 23

Domesticated plants and their relationship to complex societies:

Back 23

Agricultural societies use crops to feed people that do not produce food themselves which allows for specialization. Without the need to produce their own food, people become politicians, soldiers, chiefs, architects, builders, artists, artisans, blacksmiths, etc., and all these professions allow for the things that make agricultural societies complex such as governments, armies, buildings, swords, artwork, etc. None of these things could exist without the specialization that agriculture allows, and you can't have agriculture without domesticated plants.
