Abstract：
In this paper, we concentrate on the neolithisation process in Mediterranean Iberia through a diachronic view (from 8600-6800 cal. BP), focusing on social interaction as a factor in articulating new cultural ties. To do this, we apply techniques centred on similarities in material culture by applying Social Network Analysis (SNA). For the first time, we point to the geometric projectiles, taking into account their recurrence in both Mesolithic and Neolithic groups as part of their characteristic hunting equipment. We hypothesise that patterns of cultural variability would express the changing flow of information between communities according to their mobility strategies (last hunter-gatherer groups), including economic and social behaviour, and that these relationships will be restructured with the arrival of the newcomer farmers and herders and their new spatial and social arrangement. The results obtained allow us to describe a connected and homogeneous Late Mesolithic network dramatically structured by the Neolithic arrival. Since then, a heterogenous pattern emerged, involving connected periods, network ruptures, and small-world phenomena. The emergence of this characteristic could support the flow of information when the network presents a clustered structure, the last probably due to regionalisation events. These diachronic dynamics fit well with demographic and socioecological trends observed from regional literature.
摘要：
在本文中,我们通过历时视图（从8600-6800cal。BP),把社会互动作为表达新的文化纽带的一个因素。要做到这一点，我们通过应用社会网络分析(SNA)来应用以物质文化相似性为中心的技术。第一次,我们指向几何弹丸，考虑到它们在中石器时代和新石器时代群体中的复发，作为其特色狩猎设备的一部分。我们假设文化变异的模式将根据社区的流动策略（最后的狩猎-采集者群体）表达社区之间不断变化的信息流，包括经济和社会行为，随着新农民和牧民的到来以及他们新的空间和社会安排，这些关系将得到重组。获得的结果使我们能够描述由新石器时代的到来而戏剧性地构造的连接且均匀的中石器时代晚期网络。从那以后,一种异质的模式出现了，涉及连接时期，网络破裂，和小世界现象。当网络呈现集群结构时，这种特性的出现可以支持信息流，最后一个可能是由于区域化事件。这些历时动态与从区域文献中观察到的人口和社会生态趋势非常吻合。
