Resumen

Historical analyses of the appearance of the earliest crop and livestock farming societies on the Catalan coast have always been the focus of debate within the overarching topic of the arrival of new settlers who came by sea and/or land to bring knowledge associated with the production economy based on the adoption of crop and livestock farming. In order to examine this topic, we consider the archaeological documents that make it possible to identify the places these groups lived and frequented, along with the records from their funerary practices. All of this data, coupled with the associated materials, are considered essential in analysing the evolution and diversity of the different types of settlements of these crop or livestock farmers within the timeframe of the sixth to fourth millennia BCE in the stretch of land running along the extensive Catalan coastline.
