FOOD PRODUCTION IN THE SOUTHEAST OF THE IBERIAN PENINSULA (1500-900 CAL ANE)

Food production has been a constant occupation in society since the beginnings of humanity. Further away from the distinction between hunter/gatherers or producers, labor relates a wide range of different activities in order to obtain food. Far away from understanding food production only from the domestic point of view, it has a wide scope of study and it is linked to a complex net of different aspects of quotidian life, food production starts with the obtaining of raw materials which will be transformed in some way before consumption. The former paper makes a reflection about the point of view in which food has been looked in archeology, proposes a line of approach and argues about how we create knowledge about food production in the past, remaking that is not enough with the usual faunal o plant analysis nor any technique, but to view globally the production, more than only the phenomenic aspects of the different materials. A case study from the south east of the Iberian Peninsula (1500 900 cal ANE) is presented.
