Abstract


In this paper we are going to present the results of the usewear analysis of the geometrics found in the Neolithic settlements and cemeteries of Catalonian. If the use-wear analysis has demostrated that these geometrics were used as projectile points, the statistical analysis has demostrated that are one of the elements mostly closely associated with adult male burials. This ha allowed us to propose a socioeconomic approach of the human groups that occupied these places.
