Insights into ish resource exploitation from the use-wear analysis of lithic tools: case-studies from the Iberian Peninsula between the sixth-third millennia cal BC

Descripción
Sumario:[EN] In this paper, we analyze data on the use of fish resources in the Mesolithic - Neolithic period on the Atlantic coast of the Iberian Peninsula. Data from three different sites are presented: Vale Marim I (end VII - beginning of VI thousand cal BC) and Vale Pinsell I (VI thousand cal BC), both located on the southwestern coast of Portugal, and La Esparragosa (IV – III cal BC ), located on the southern coast of Spain. The study of stone complexes using a trasological analysis provides evidence of fish processing and scale removal activities. Moreover, we found some microlithic tools that may have been used as elements of the fortress. The analysis of the tools was based on the experimental base of both the wear and tear marks associated with fish and the taphonomic nature.
