Barcelona) have provided new information on the social and economic characteristics of the communities that, between ca. 4700-
3900 cal BC, populated the central coast of the Northeast of the Iberian Peninsula.
The use/s that these communities made of the settlement during the almost 800 years of the Postcardial Neolithic has evolved
throughout the different episodes of said occupation from an initial phase in which the sheep herd is housed in the interior of the
cavity accompanied by an undetermined use of its terrace, going through the use, in two phases, as a sepulchral hypogeum of the
central room of the cave, to a habitat settlement, attested by three storage silos on the terrace, with stabling inside the chamber.
As a result of the recent findings, we intend to expose the problems and difficulties generated by the interpretation of the cave
as a space dedicated to these various uses that are dynamic and are changing and evolving, in parallel with the artifacts of the cultural facies, adapting to new needs, uses and traditions, either as a product of specific episodes, or of unexpected and indecipherable events today.
Keywords: Postcardial Neolithic, Socio-economic dynamics, C14, Intra-site patterns.
