Tribal societies to classists initials in the territory of rivers and Turón Guadalteba (Vth to the IInd millennium bC)

Abstract

The area of the Guadalteba and Turón rivers is located in the Central Andalusia, particularly in the northwest of the province of Malaga. In this paper we intend to present from the theoretical position of the Social Archaeology, the existing knowledge about the societies  that occupied that territory during the Late Prehistory. We start from the  understanding of the geographical setting, geological and exploitable resources. We then analyze the pattern of settlement and economic aspects as lithic technology, ceramics, etc., in order to lay the basis for ordering the archaeological and stratigraphic sequence. Our intention is to deepen the studies of transition from the tribal Neolithic community societies to the early classists.
