“…A side issue of the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition as seen from these kinds of sites was the local domestication of goats, suggested for Cova Fosca (13), and the late Mesolithic acquisition of exotic domestic sheep through long distance exchange mechanisms, suggested for Abri Dourgne and Grotte Gazel, among others (14). This was a definitional issue, involving the identification as domesticates of juvenile ovicaprid bones recovered in high mountain sites that might in fact belong to young chamois or ibex.…”

Most radiocarbon dates for the earliest Neolithic cultures of west Mediterranean Europe are on samples of unidentified charcoal. If only results obtained on short lived samples (seeds, shells, and bone) of diagnostic material (domesticates, artifacts, and human remains) are considered, then the dates for the first appearance of the Neolithic package are indistinguishable statistically from central Italy to Portugal and cluster around 5400 calendar B.C. This rapidity of spread, no more than six generations, can be best explained in the framework of a maritime pioneer colonization model. cardial ͉ Neolithic ͉ radiocarbon A sound dating of the first appearance of agro-pastoral economies across Europe is a basic prerequisite to the evaluation of how, why, and when hunter-gatherer adaptive systems eventually disappeared from most of the continent in prehistoric times. The task, however, has not proved easy. Before the advent of accelerator mass spectrometer (AMS) radiocarbon dating, bulk samples of charcoal, bone, or shell had to be used, and in many instances the resultant dates were at odds with archaeological expectations based on stratigraphy and typology.

“…Asimismo, la existencia en estas zonas de áreas endorreicas pudo haber facilitado la práctica de la caza aprovechando las migraciones estacionales de herbívoros salvajes en busca de un clima menos riguroso. Este tipo de movimientos entre las tierras altas y las tierras bajas también han sido documentados en otras zonas de la vertiente mediterránea occidental (Geddes, 1983;Halstead, 2002), aunque con las matizaciones impuestas por variables como la topografía, la climatología, etc. Cabe considerar la posibilidad de que en estos movimientos no se desplazaría necesariamente a todas las cabezas del ganado, sino que se pudieron dejar un cierto número que, junto al ganado bovino y porcino, servirían como reserva alimenticia para el invierno.…”

Este trabajo pretende ofrecer las claves para la interpretación del comportamiento territorial de los primeros grupos con economía productora. Para ello, nos apoyamos principalmente en diferentes características de los yacimientos y sus entornos inmediatos, sin olvidar otros elementos como el Arte rupestre y otras manifestaciones simbólicas. Finalmente planteamos hipótesis para la organización y evolución del poblamiento neolítico en las comarcas centro-meridionales valencianas (España). This paper tries to offer keysfor interpreting the territorial behavíourof thefirst groups wíth a productive economy. This is based primarily on various aspects of the archaeological sites and their immediate environment, but we also consider symbolic features such as rock art. Finally, we propose some hypotheses to explain the organization and evolution of the Neolithic settlement pattems in the central-south of the Valencian región of Spain.
