@archaeology Farming carries the thought of exclusionary ownership of property that excludes others, so hunter-gatherers wd be more nomadic, and a threat to farming.

In general, one group has fixed territory in defined farms and the other group is mobile and fixed territories do not work with that mobility. Yes, mobile groups had general, large territories, but not the smaller exclusionary parcels of farming.
