Abstract

The spread of the Neolithic way of life to Western Europe is characterized by two parallel strands of colonization that spread through the continental (LBK) and Mediterranean (Impressa- Cardial) regions during the sixth millennium BC. Together with the introduction of novel agricultural systems, new food preparation practices were developed. Combined interdisciplinary (technology, anthropology, archeobotany) and archaeometrical approaches (usewear and residue analyses) have made it possible to characterize the way in which plants, especially cereals and legumes, were processed for daily consumption. By looking at examples from both strands of European Neolithization, it has also been possible to highlight the economic, cultural and social significance of the various grinding systems.

Abstract

La diffusion du Néolithique vers l’Ouest de l’Europe se caractérise par deux voies parallèles de colonisation à travers l’Europe continentale (Lbk) et méditerranéenne (Impressa- Cardial) durant le 6e millénaire BC. De nouvelles habitudes alimentaires accompagnèrent l’introduction d’un nouveau système agricole. Une approche interdisciplinaire associant la technologie et l’anthropologie à des analyses archéométriques (tracéologie, résidus microbotaniques) a permis de caractériser les procédés par lesquels les céréales et légumineuses étaient transformés pour l’alimentation quotidienne. À travers des exemples pris dans les deux courants de néolithisation, il est possible de caractériser la valeur culturelle et sociale des différents systèmes de broyage.
