| Resumo: | Ceramic decoration has been a significant archaeological proxy since its earliest appearance in the record. Furthermore, the concept of style encompasses additional traits, enriching the cultural understanding of groups and facilitating their study through evolutionary archaeology. This study aims to define, in detail, some characteristic styles of the Early Neolithic in the eastern Iberian Peninsula, focusing on decorations produced using shells (Cardial and related styles) and toothed tools (Gradina). Morphological and typological data, along with techniques and the symmetry of vessel designs, will be analysed in conjunction with the spatial information of archaeological sites. The results highlight evolutionary forces that shed light on the dynamics of the 6-5th millennia cal BC in this region, offering a framework for future stylistic studies.
