Abstract

In this paper I explore the potential of cultural inheritance theory to address the specific social contexts of craft production in prehistoric societies. Proponents of agency theory have criticized the “techno-science” approach of scholars working with other theoretical paradigms and their unwillingness or inability to focus on human behavior instead of material remains. By emphasizing the social and contextual nature of technological practices, the critique has successfully high-lighted the need to engender prehistoric technological practices. Cultural inheritance theory, one of several complementary currents in evolutionary archaeology, is particularly well suited to identify specific social contexts of craft production and provides a well-grounded framework for engendering prehistoric technological practices. Neolithic ceramic technology from Valencia, Spain provides a case study.

Résumé

Résumé

En este trabajo se pretende explorar el potencial de la “Teoría de la Herencia Cultural” para hacer frente al contexto social específico de la producción artesanal en las sociedades prehistóricas. Los defensores de la “Teoría de la Agencia“ han criticado la visión “tecno-científica” de otros enfoques teóricos, así como su falta de voluntad o incapacidad para enfatizar el comportamiento humano en vez de la cultura material. A través del énfasis en la naturaleza social y contextual de las prácticas tecnológicas, estas críticas han mostrado satisfactoriamente la necesidad de dar género a las prácticas tecnológicas pre-históricas. La Teoría de la Herencia Cultural, una de las diversas corrientes complementarias dentro de la Arqueología Evolucionista, está especialmente bien provista para dar género a contextos sociales específicos de la producción artesanal, ofreciendo un sólido marco de trabajo para su estudio. Como ejemplo de este tipo de estudios, se presentan los resultados del análisis de la producción cerámica neolítica en Valencia, España.
