Noriyuki Shirai's research on lithic artefacts used by the Epipalaeolithic hunter-fishers and Neolithic farmer-herders in the Fayum gives a clue as to the mobility and residential strategy of the Fayum people and their time and labour investments in tool production. The Neolitic farmer-herders ( 6th C.B.C.E.) relied heavily on hunting and fishing, which had been the major subsistence activities since theArchaeological Studies Leiden UniversityExcavations (Archaeology)EgyptFayyūmMesolithic periodEgyptFayyūmNeolithic periodEgyptFayyūmFarmersEgyptHistoryHerdersEgyptHistoryEgyptAntiquitiesElectronic books.Excavations (Archaeology)Mesolithic periodNeolithic periodFarmersHistory.HerdersHistory.930.1Shirai Noriyuki1970-890771MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462060303321The archaeology of the first farmer-herders in Egypt1989821UNINA
