Resumen de esta obra

Based on the author's doctoral thesis, this is a study of the transition from hunter-gathering to pastoralism-farming in the southern Iberian peninsular. Caceres' work involves detailed study of the fauna available in this region from the Pleistocene to the Holocene, especially in relation to human occupation and settlements. Theoretical and methodological issues are outlined in the first part, followed by an in-depth examination of data related to economic strategies and available faunal species, finishing with a discussion of the process of Neolithisation and the emergence of farming in southern Iberia.
