El aprovechamiento de recursos vegetales en los niveles neolíticos del yacimiento de Los Murciélagos (Zuheros, Córdoba): Estudio arqueobotánico y de la función del utillaje

Abstract

(ES) La intensificación en el aprovechamiento de los recursos vegetales es uno de los rasgos característicos de la economía neolítica. En el presente estudio abordamos este tema a partir del análisis arqueobotánico de los restos vegetales carbonizados y de las huellas de uso del utillaje lítico. Los materiales analizados proceden de los niveles neolíticos del yacimiento de Los Murciélagos de Zuheros, Córdoba. Se atestigua el cultivo de diferentes tipos de trigo (T. monococcum, T. dicoccum, T. aestivum/durum) y de la cebada (Hordeum sativum), además de la recolección de bellotas (Quercus sp.) y aceitunas silvestres (Olea europaea subs, oleaster). Los procesos de trabajo de los recursos vegetales se reconstruyen a partir del recurso a la información etnográfica, a la experimentación y el análisis de huellas de uso de los útiles líticos. Los útiles de sílex se emplearon en la elaboración de hoces. Se trata de hoces de vástago curvo y elementos de sílex en inserción oblicua. No se han detectado útiles de sílex empleados para labores tecnológicas sobre vegetales (cestería, cordelería, etc.). Esto se debe a que buena parte de los procesos tecnológicos se hubieron de desarrollar sin útiles o con útiles de madera, y, quizás, a que algunas de las labores de recolección de vegetales (p.e. el carrizo) se pudieron desarrollar con las mismas hoces de siega de cereales.

(EN) The intensification in the use of plants is one of the more significant characteristics of the Neolithic economy. In this paper, this topic is considered by means of the archaeobotanical analysis of plant charred remains and the use-wear analysis of lithic tools from the Neolithic levels of Los Murciélagos cave (Zuheros, Córdoba). The cultivation of diferent types of wheats (T. monococcum, T. dicoccum, T. aestivum, T. durum) and barley (Hordeum sativum) and the harvesting of acorns (Quercus sp.) and wild olives (Olea europaea subs, oleaster) is attested. The technical processes on plants are reconstructed resorting to ethnographic information, experimentation and use-wear analysis of stone tools. During the Neolithic period, at this site, sickles were made inserting lithic elements obliquely in curved shafts. No lithic tool used for technological activities on plants (basketry, ropes, etc.) was recognized. This is probably due to the development of most of these technical activities without tools or with wooden tools, and, perhaps, to the fact that some plant collecting activities (i.e. phragmites) could had been carried out with the same sickles used for harvesting cereals.
