Combustion features and use of space. A micromorphological approach to the Neolithic occupation at Cova de les Pixarelles (Barcelona, Spain)

Combustion structures are a key element in archaeology for understanding the articulation of the social spaces of past societies since they allow us to approach domestic activities, given their role in daily life production and consumption practices. In the last years, the study of hearths and other...

In the last years, the study of hearths and other combustion features has been enriched by applying a set of new methodologies, which has made it possible to delve deeper into its study and know both the activities involved in its use and the management. In this article, we present the results of a micromorphological study carried out at the Cova de les Pixarelles site (Tavertet, Barcelona).

Therefore, the ethnographic vision of the use of the cavity in the economic and social cycle is deepened by the first results of the micromorphological analysis and the rest of the archaeological record, which points to an intense occupation with several episodes of use related to several combustion features and changes in space management with possible specific purposes. 22022-01-0120222022-01-01Articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501VoRhttp://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://ddd.uab.cat/record/322933https://dx.doi.org/urn:doi:10.1016/j.jasrep.2022.103712reponame:Dipòsit Digital de Documents de la UABinstname:Universitat Autònoma de BarcelonaInglésengopen accesshttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Aquest document està subjecte a una llicència d'ús Creative Commons.
