PrepTest 91+, Section 2, Question 11
There is evidence that a certain ancient society burned large areas of land. Some suggest that this indicates the beginning of large-scale agriculture in that society—that the land was burned to clear ground for planting. But there is little evidence of cultivation after the fires. Therefore, it is likely that this society was still a hunter-gatherer society.

Many ancient cultures had agriculture before they began using fire to clear large tracts of land.
