important to you? Write an explanation
of how these things would influence
your farm life.
1. domesticated plants and animals

for times when crops are bad.
4. environment

 All the elements of my

B. Prove With Evidence

 You could draw the following
conclusions from studying the
ancient Middle East. Using facts
and details from the chapter, give
proof that these conclusions are
correct.
1. Some hunter-gatherers began to settle
down between 11,000 and 8,000 B.C.
Bins for surplus food at Ain Mallaha
indicate that some hunter-gatherers began
staying in one place.
2. Early farmers domesticated plants and
animals.
A variety of wheat and barley in the same
area indicated that early farmers sowed wild
grains. Around 8500 B.C., the skeletal
structure of domesticated sheep began
changing from that of wild sheep.
3. Neolithic farmers learned to make flour.
Querns were found at Neolithic sites,
indicating that the farmers learned to grind
the wheat into flour.
4. The people of Catal Huyuk traded with
distant communities.
Obsidian was found at Jericho; turquoise
and copper from the Sinai Peninsula were
found in Catal Huyuk.
5. Umm Dabaghiyah was a much different
community than Catal Huyuk and Ur.
Umm Dabaghiyah had no hearths,
platforms, or tools. It was a hunting and
trading post, comprised mostly of
storehouses. Catal Huyuk and Ur had
permanent living quarters, a religious life,
and a craft industry.
6. The city of Ur was organized; it also had
leadership
Ur had a sophisticated irrigation system and
ziggurats. Ur had a king, queen, and royal
family.
7. The residents of Catal Huyuk and Ur were
self-sufficient, but the residents of Umm
Dabaghiyah were not.
Residents of Catal Huyuk and Ur had food,
water, and shelter. Umm Dabaghiyah
hunters traded animal hides for food.
8. The early communities of Ain Mallaha,
Catal Huyuk, an Ur were formed because of
their geography and environment.
All were close to rivers and had a variety of
plants, animals, and resources.
9. Archeologists’ work is important.
Archeologists’ findings reveal the history
and development of civilizations.

 3. The people of Ain Mallaha, Catal Huyuk, Umm
Dabaghiyah, and Ur all invented tools that helped
them in their work. How could you show the tools
used by these communities on a map?

appropriate cities on a map.
