Pottery technology is one of the traits traditionally linked to the transition from hunter-gathering to farming in Eurasia, using it as proxy for the so-called Neolithic transition. Current research, nevertheless, has allowed proposing different dynamics for both phenomena. Nowadays, it is possible to identify different trajectories across the continent, also including pre-farming pottery

However, in areas such as Iberia, earliest pottery evidences continue being systematically linked to the first domesticated crops and animals, being this latter connection not always obvious. Morphological and decorative approaches have explored the filliation among different pottery assemblages, allowing us to establish different horizons during the Early Neolithic. The increase of technological studies focused on early ceramics offers us the opportunity to investigate the similarities and dissimilarities among the production processes. In this poster, we present an overview of the available technological studies in the Iberian Peninsula focused on Early Neolithic pottery assemblages. We summarize the archaeological sites analysed, sample representation and techniques employed, with the aim to explore the traits of the first ceramic traditions in the area.
