摘要: Recent approaches have described the evolutionary dynamics of first Neolithic societies as a cycle rise and fall. Several authors, using mainly c14 dates demographic proxy, identified general pattern boom in population coincident with arrival food production economies followed by rapid decline some centuries afterwards multiple European regions. Concerning Iberia, we also noted that this phenomenon correlates an initial development archaeological entities (i.e., ‘cultures’) over large areas (e.g. Impresso-Cardial West Mediterranean), phase ‘cultural fragmentation’ end Early Neolithic. These results picture higher cultural diversity effect more limited spread artifacts. In work propose to apply network approach analysis material culture. particular, consider spatiotemporal patterns culture emergent interaction processes acting locally. As recent research has pointed out, variability is phenomena resulting individual group interactions whose structure resembles those spatially-structured complex Networks. Our suggest observed global could be explained dynamics, specially structural (measured Betweenness Centrality) geographical position nodes. The appearance disappearance nodes specific positions changes distribution throughout (c. 7700-6700 cal BP) East Iberia. our view, especial role played facilitating or limiting information flow entire network. Network growth posterior fragmentation seem key drivers behind these dynamics.
