But the bag's owner wasn't necessarily a man; women are thought to have been in charge of plant gathering. The tools, therefore, either belonged to a woman hunter-gatherer, or work activities were more gender-blind than thought during prehistoric times, Edwards theorized.
I'm betting it was a man. And I'll bet there was a lot more wheat gathering than currently thought. Cool article.
