Abstract(s)
Pocas son las evidencias de agricultura vinculadas a las primeras ocupaciones neolíticas de Portugal. De hecho, la escasa conservación de restos carpológicos no ha facilitado conocer la realidad de las prácticas agrícolas en relación con las especies explotadas. En este contexto, han surgido dudas sobre el papel que esta actividad tenía entre las primeras comunidades agricultoras y pastoras. En este artículo hemos abordado el estudio de cinco asentamientos del Neolítico Antiguo con el objetivo de documentar la existencia o no de útiles tallados empleados como hoces. Los resultados confirman el uso de estos instrumentos durante este periodo y su similitud con los hallados en otros yacimientos peninsulares.
There is little evidence of agriculture linked to the first Neolithic in Portugal. In fact, the scarce preservation of carpological remains has not made it easy to know the reality of agricultural practices in relation to the species exploited. In this context, doubts have arisen about the role this activity may have played among the first farming and herding communities in the country. In this article we have approached five Early Neolithic settlements with the aim of documenting the existence or not of knapped tools used as sickle implements. The results confirm the use of these tools during the period and their similarity to those found in other sites of the Iberian Peninsula.
