The evolution of agro-pastoral economy is a process that lasted several thousands of years following the emergence of territorial ownership, sedentism or semi-sedentism and control over cultivated fields. Cultivation of wheat, barley, rye, lentils, peas and later broad bean and chickpeas began in the Levant and together with the domesticated goat, sheep, cattle and pig created the “agricultural package”, associated with the development of storage facilities. Not all species were domesticated at the same time or the same locality within this geographic region. Exploitation of wild plants such as acorns continued by the same farming communities who already cultivated domesticable plants. Fruit trees were tended and intentionally planted beginning with figs, followed by olives, which became economic and important investment during the Chalcolithic period and later millennia. Additional species and brands appeared in the following millennia including the hexaploid spelt wheat, which was the result of spontaneous interbreeding of tetraploid hard wheat with a wild weed Aegilops tauschii and later a mutation turned the spelt weed to bread wheat.
