Excerpt from Flint Chips: A Guide to Pre-Historic Archaeology, as Illustrated by the Collection in the Blackmore Museum, Salisbury With the introduction Of agriculture all this was changed, a more settled mode Of life was adopted, and men were enabled to congregate in particular spots without risk Of starvation, this naturally led to the sub-division Of labour, to the establish ment Of commerce, and to a general advance in civilization. Up to the present time there is no evidence to Show that men Of the earliest (palaeolithic) period practised agriculture, neither do they seem to have domesticated any Of the wild animals. They appear to have subsisted, exclusively, by hunting. The cultivation Of cereals for food seems to have arisen, independently, in the Old World and in America.
