Abstract

The difficulties in determining their actual number, the specific material in which they were made or the exact chronology of their deposition, turns prehistoric adornments in an enormously complex field of study. Perhaps for this reason, most of the previous approaches to these objects have focused on their characterization and provenience as well as on the consumption patterns and their evolution throughout prehistory. In this paper, we analyze a set of adornments made of greenstone (mainly variscite) and other raw materials recovered from sites in the Iberian Peninsula whose chronology ranges from the Early Neolithic to the Early Bronze Age. From this database and using spatial analysis and network research, we will approach the dynamics of circulation and exchange that made it possible for these artifacts to be distributed throughout practically the entire Peninsula.
