| description |
This article proposes to debate the process and the transition from hunter-gatherer societies in the Epipaleolithic period to the agro-pastoral sedentary lifestyle of the Neolithic period in the southern Levant area. This process is also accompanied by greater artisanal specialization in various branches of production and in an iconography that implies changes in ways of thinking.
The supposedly antagonistic form of “nomadic-sedentary” ways of life are not very clear at the beginning of this process that begins with the so-called Natufian culture of the Epipaleolithic Period in its last phase, around 13,000 a.P. The topics that we will include will have to do with a long-term process and less with specific events due to the very nature of the “sources”. Among them, the circulation of goods and probably people over short and long distances will stand out, in this transition from hunter-gatherer to agro-pastoral communities.
The theoretical framework that we will use is that of historical materialism in which we will analyse the issue of mobility, the use of space and the exploitation of nature by prehistoric societies in the area and the modes of production in the transition from the Palaeolithic period to the Neolithic period. The remains of material culture will also be interpreted in the light of the sociologic aspects of these societies, especially in what, with respect to our topic, and its anthropological aspect in the sense of human behaviour in light of socio-economic changes. |

Este articulo propone debatir el proceso y el paso de las sociedades de cazadores recolectores en el periodo Epipaleolítico al sedentarismo agro-pastoril del periodo Neolítico en la zona del Levante meridional. Este proceso va acompañado también por una mayor especialización artesanal en varias ramas de la producción y en una iconografía que implica cambios en las formas de pensamiento. La forma supuesta antagónica de “nómades-sedentarios” como formas de vida no son muy claros al principio de este proceso que comienza con la llamada cultura Natufiense del Periodo Epipaleolítico en su última fase, alrededor del 13.000 a.P. Los temas que incluiremos tendrán que ver con un proceso de larga duración y menos con hechos puntuales por la propia naturaleza de las “fuentes”. El marco teórico que utilizaremos es el del materialismo histórico en el cual analizaremos el tema de la movilidad, la utilización del espacio y la naturaleza por parte de las sociedades prehistóricas en la zona y los modos de producción relevantes en el paso del periodo Paleolítico al Neolítico. Los restos de la cultura material serán interpretados también a la luz de los aspectos sociológicos de esas sociedades, sobre todo en lo que, respecto a su aspecto antropológico en el sentido del comportamiento humano a la luz de los cambios socio-económicos.
