Notre objectif est de démontrer que dans la société de chasseurs-cueilleurs du mésolithique, avant donc l’économie de production agropastorale du néolithique, les activités économiques de production – par transformation de ressources - étaient nombreuses et diverses. Sur cette base et encouragée par la croissance de la population et la sédentarisation, la division du travail s’est intensifiée. Cela a eu pour conséquence, d’une part d’imposer des échanges commerciaux, de motiver l’accumulation de richesse et l’accession à la propriété, et d’autre part, d’accroître le rendement des activités humaines. L’économie pré-néolithique existait donc bien ; moins intensément développée que celle du néolithique mais analogue quant à sa nature, elle peut véritablement être qualifiée d’économie proto-néolithique.
It is commonly believed that it is only from the neolithic period that one can speak about economy. Before the developement of this economy of production – based on farming and lifestock farming – the economy of hunther-gatherer is restrained to autarky or subsistence economy. Our purpose is to demonstrate that even during the mesolithic period, the economic activity was already quite developped. Even if it was less developed than during the neolithic period, the mesolithic economy was quite similar by nature to the neolithic one’s. Therefore it should rather be considered as proto-neolithic.
