Recent research suggests that subsistence changes in NE Africa between 11,000 and 7000 B.P. have significant implications for general models of the origins and spread of agricultural economies. In the research reported here, surface collections and excavations were used to investigate the origins of agricultural economies in the Fayyum area of Egypt at about 7000 B.P. The Fayyum data are considered in relation to evidence from other areas and various reconstructions of NE African agricultural origins are discussed
