Resumen:
Traditional analytical dichotomies are common in Archaeology: while
domesticated may have been a powerful tool for explain changes in exploratory
economies, the wild remained an obscure category in problems related to
productive societies. This
strong differentiation between livelihoods/lifestyles was particularly clear in
the archaeology of rock shelter occupations, which usually have not
productive loci associated. With
some exceptions, rock shelters occupied during the agricultural period were not
considered domestic enough, and researchers continuously described the
vegetal resources founded in those contexts as wild/domestic, but clearly
interested in the staples as the important remains. On the contrary, when the
context is supposed to be primarily wild -hunter and gatherer societies- the
domesticated staple recovers more importance and is putted in a new ambiguous
category as foreign or exchanged.
We make a revision of the events of
those archaeological records from the communal foraging perspective and social
rules established by different societies.
