exhaustive study of Hut 1 at Ohalo II; this hut yielded over 90,000 seeds. The seeds account for more than 100 species of wild barley and fruits. Such a high concentration of seeds in the hut makes it highly unlikely that they were accidentally deposited into the hut via natural forces such as wind. In addition, statistical analysis demonstrates that the concentration of plant matter was significantly higher around the walls than the center. Had the seeds been deposited by the collapsed roof, they would have evenly scattered on the ground. Furthermore, just 13 species of fruit and cereal make up about half of the total number of seeds found in the area; these include brome grains (<i><a href="/wiki/Bromus" title="Bromus">Bromus</a> pseudobrachystachys</i>), <a href="/wiki/Wild_barley" class="mw-redirect" title="Wild barley">wild barley</a> (<i>Hordeum spontaneum</i>) and <a href="/wiki/Millet" title="Millet">millet</a> grass grains (<i><a href="/wiki/Piptatherum_holciforme" title="Piptatherum holciforme">Piptatherum holciforme</a></i>), just to name a few. This suggests a marked preference of certain species of edible plants. A seed of particular interest comes from the <a href="/wiki/Rubus" title="Rubus">Rubus</a> fruit, which was fragile, difficult to transport, and preferably eaten immediately after collection. The presence of <a href="/wiki/Rubus" title="Rubus">Rubus</a> seeds at the Ohalo II site could indicate that the seeds were dried in the sun or by the fire for storage: early evidence for advanced planning of plant food consumption. Most importantly, the extremely high concentration of seeds clustering around the grinding stone in the northern wall of Hut 1 led archeologist <a href="/w/index.php?title=Ehud_Weiss&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1" class="new" title="Ehud Weiss (page does not exist)">Ehud Weiss</a> to believe that humans at Ohalo II processed the grain before consumption. </p><p>A 2015 study reported that its "findings represent the earliest indications for the presence of <a href="/wiki/Weed#History" title="Weed">proto-weeds</a> in a site predating the Neolithic plant domestication by some 11,000 years.
