Harvests of grain which remain edible for decades were too plentiful for a group to easily carry with them, leading to the formation of base camps where mortars, too heavy to move long distances, remained. One person, harvesting for three weeks, could feed four individuals for a year, creating a plentiful, virtually inexhaustible supply of food.
