Sobre la lectura

The Early-Middle Neolithic period in northeast Spain was a period of considerable change. Through statistical analysis of four burial sites, examination of associated grave goods and use-wear analysis of stone artefacts from the graves, the author aims to reconstruct aspects of the socio-economic organisation of the people who inhabited these sites. Flint was shown to be an important part of funerary ritual and inferences are made on links between tools and the age and sex of the individual interred, and their relationship to other types of grave goods. Spanish text; short French and English abstract.
