Some Great Basin tribes in the Western US would use a mobile version of this on open plains to catch antelope. A large group would gather and erect a large corral with tall posts. Then they would fan out over the land and drive the animals into the area to trap them.
Kites - as they are often called - are very commonly found in what were Paleolithic human and proto-human areas.
Given this was in Chile and not the Levant, parallel innovation, or less likely but possible long lasting memetic/social transfer is definitely interesting
