- thaumasiotes 5y agoLand transport of grain is unlikely. Marine or riverine transport was common in history; you'd have to make some kind of evaluation as to how likely it was in the prehistoric region in question. But assuming it was happening, you still have some sharp restrictions on where it could have come from.
