Resumo
The development of pottery production is a key element to analyse the transformation of the economic and social structures of human groups during the neolithization process as it is directly linked to their progressive sedentary and the formation of complex societies. In addition, the study of ceramic manufacturing traditions can provide essential information to understand the technological equipment, as well as the axes of cultural transmission of a society, although there are generally few studies that go beyond the analysis of ceramic morphology and /or typology. In this context, the use-wear analysis of the shell tools linked to the human occupations of the ancient and recent Neolithic in Cueva de El Toro (Antequera, Málaga) has been developed, including the artifacts associated with a pottery workshop documented in situ during the Subphase IIIB. The results obtained, from the development of a broad analytical experimental program, have confirmed that the shell tools were used, along with other technological elements, to carry out specific activities within the pottery manufacturing process. Finally, from a multidisciplinary perspective (taxonomy, taphonomy, experimental archaeology and use-wear analysis) it has been possible to reconstruct the chaîne opératoire of these tools, and establish a comparison on the role played in relation to the pottery production during the ancient and recent Neolithic in Cueva de El Toro.
