There is little evidence of permanent settlement either, at least in the early centuries, and archaeologists have imagined the farmers being at least partly nomadic, herding their animals from one temporary camp to another. It is also thought that while they deliberately planted stands of wheat and barley, they were unlikely to have stood over them while they grew. Instead they would have concentrated on moving the animals from pasture to pasture, only returning to the crop when it was time for the harvest.
