Contextualizando la cerámica «impressa»: Horizontes culturales en la península Ibérica

Recently, studies on the origins of the earliest agricultural societies in the Western Mediterranean have sparked a broad debate regarding the cultural affiliation and characteristics of the first groups practicing a subsistence economy. Within this context, the debate surrounding the presence in the Iberian Peninsula of a phase linked to the so-called Ligurian Impressa, found across various regions of the Liguro-Provençal arc, gains particular significance. This volume, the result of a scientific meeting, brings together updated research on the potential presence of these ceramic assemblages around the mid-6th millennium cal BC in the Iberian Peninsula within the broader framework of the Western Mediterranean. The earliest pottery production in the West is analyzed with a focus on both its physical attributes and, above all, the archaeological context and historical interpretation it provides. Organized by geographical areas, the 14 contributions by 38 national and international researchers offer a novel and original insight into one of the most important developments in recent Prehistory research over the past decade.
