The isle of Formentera (Balearic Archipelago, Spain) was one of the latest insular contexts to be colonized in the
Mediterranean. The first settlement occurred during the secondmillennium cal BCE, and this late human occupation
is associated with insularity factors, including an extreme environment. Cap de Barbaria II is one of the biggest openair
naviform villages occupied during the first prehistoric settlement and for an extended period (ca. 1600–
850 cal BCE).Multidisciplinary archaeological research conductedwithin the site reveals adaptation of the economic
behaviour of these first settlers to an environment poor in resources. In this sense, aspects such as innovation, diversification,
and intensification in the use of resources characterized the subsistence and technological patterns developed
by the prehistoric inhabitants of Formentera. New data from different archaeological and paleoenvironmental
studies, such as archaeobotanical, archaeozoological, or technological and functional, have been analyzed. In this
sense, the assessed subsistence patterns, reveal adaptive strategies that encompass different local and exogenous resources
and differ from those observed in the rest of the Balearic Islands.
This paper was developed under the scientific objectives and funding of different research projects: HAR2015-67211-P; HAR2012- 32602; HAR2011-29907-C03-03/HIST sponsored by the MINECO and MICINN (Spain). PS and EC had been funded by an FI grant (AGAUR-Catalonian Government); LPG by a BP Fellowship (BP A_00216) and the HAR2012-32602 project; JR is a beneficiary of FPU predoctoral grant sponsored byMECD (Spain) andMB received funding by Consell Insular de Formentera. Thanks to IMF-CSIC and LitoCAT (Barcelona) and IH·CSIC MicroLab and bioarchaeology group (Madrid) their support and infrastructural facilities during the lithic use-wear, starch grain and archaeometallurgical analysis. Finally, the authors would like to thank all reviewers and Guest Editor Matthieu Ghilardi for their helpful comments that contributed to improving the paper. |
