Our main concem is not only io undersiand past environmems and societies. bui also io consider ihe prtsent dramatic aridification process wbich ihreaicns large pans of ihc southeast of the Ibcrian peninsula and North Africa. The iniroduetion of a morc 'tcchnicaP archaeology in recent years has produced a gnwing body of palaeo-environmcntal data. Its Interpretation proeeeds tn a rather mechanical and isolated way, producing monolithic 'histories' of diffcrcnt aspecis of the same reality. Our proposal for an archacological theory is based upon three factors which interact to form a totality (termed the socioecological System): the socioeconomic formation, the social exploitaiion of natural resources and the natural environment. The dialectical rclationship between the socioeconomic formation and the natural environment takes place by means of social exploitation. As the empirical cvidcnce in the archacological r«ord is the rcsult of the interaetton of these three factors, wc analyse as a casc study the cco-archacological implications of the material record from Gatas, a Bronze Age settlement in southeast Spain.

The raw materials from which stone tools are made can provide considerable information relevant to behavioral variation within a prehistoric population. By examining the stone used for tools from tow different types of Late Pithouse period (A.D. 550-1000) residential sites from the Mimbres Mogollon area of Southwestern New Mexico, this paper illustrates how understanding the lithic landscape of a region provides a means to assess behavioral variation in stone procurement practices. The analysis indicates that the differences in mobility and economic pursuits between longer-term residential sites containing pit structures and shorter-term seasonal residential sites with ephemeral architecture structured the raw material procurement practices of site's occupants. Pit structure sites were focused on agricultural pursuits and used a technology that centered on the production of informal tools fashioned from locally available raw materials. The seasonal residential site focused on wi...
We present the results of an experimental program designed for studying the tools found in Middle Neolithic funerary contexts in the northwest of the Iberian Peninsula. The program addressed the manufacture and use of awls and spatulas made from goat metapods, and their analysis and documentation. It sheds light on significant aspects of the bone tool assemblages placed in the graves of the " Pit Burial Culture ". We present preliminary findings from Middle Neolithic necropolis in Catalonia, northwestern Iberia. Despite the heavy disturbance (due to natural processes but also consolidation, restoration and storage) we were able to determine the manufacturing process for these materials, as well as the use of some tools. Moreover, in some cases we found that the materials were not used, or were refitted before being deposited in the graves. Resumen Presentamos los resultados de un programa experimental diseñado para el estudio del utillaje de Neolítico Medio recuperado en contextos funerarios del Noroeste de la Península Ibérica. El programa abordó la manufactura y uso de punzones y espátulas sobre metápodos de cabra, así como su análisis y documentación. El programa experimental permite arrojar luz sobre algunos aspectos significativos del utillaje en hueso depositado en las sepulturas de la llamada " Cultura de los Sepulcros de Fosa ". Presentamos algunos resultados preliminares del estudio de necrópolis del Neolítico Medio de Cataluña-Nordeste de la Península Ibérica. A pesar del importante grado de alteración de estos conjuntos óseos (debida a procesos naturales pero también a su consolidación, restauración y almacenaje) se pudo determinar el proceso de fabricación de los instrumentos, así como el uso de algunos de ellos. Además, en algunos casos se determinó que los materiales no fueron utilizados, o fueron reavivados antes de ser depositados en las sepulturas.

For the greater part of their past, people did not use writing, therefore there are no written accounts of the events in the world around them. A change came about only by the end of the fourth millennium BC, when various places saw the development of the first city states. State administration usually expressed itself by introducing script, of which the production of written documents and narrative accounts was a consequence. This, at first only a marginal cultural element, not only contained the seed of ground-braking civilization changes, but also created a new situation for our study of the past. Societies disposing over writing suddenly emerge from the anonymity of prehistory and begin to tell us names, dates and events. By means of written sources, the study of which is basically the subject of history, dead societies are given back (at least theoretically) a part of their original dynamics, concreteness and detail, which we would only very hardly recover from the static archaeological record. 1 Naturally, it is impossible to gain similar information for a time period preceding the development of script, but there are certain possibilities offered by the research of structurally similar societies that still exist (or until recently existed) on the periphery of the modern world. These societies are sometimes referred to as archaic, traditional, small or natural; they are subject to a field called cultural or social anthropology (and ethnology as well; henceforth only anthropology). The research of archaic cultures not only offers opportunities for observing cultural elements in the context of living culture (by means of ethnographic observations), but also the recognition of more general relations and regularities that are then to be applied (at least theoretically) to similar cultures in the past.
