The Natufian people, who lived in the Levant region (present-day Israel, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria) approximately 12,500 to 9,500 years ago, were among the earliest Mesolithic people known to have stored plant food. They created basin-shaped depressions in rocks outside their homes and used plastered storage pits beneath their house floors to store food. Other Mesolithic groups, such as the Cro-Magnon, did not engage in this level of plant food storage. The Aborigines and Polynesians were not Mesolithic people, and the Babylonians lived during the Bronze Age and practiced agriculture, which involved more sophisticated methods of food storage.
