This paper presents the characterisation of 48 ceramic samples from Cova d’En Pardo (Alicante, Spain). Provenance and technology analysis are carried out on materials dated back to different Early and Middle Neolithic cultural phases, including pioneer and Epicardial levels, poorly known in the area. The techniques employed are optical petrography and scanning electron microscope. Two main fabrics were identified, characterised by the heavy presence of temper (grog and calcite), along with five minor petrographic classes, including two imports, one of them probably from southern Iberia. The comparison among occupational phases within the site reveals changes along the stratigraphic series, especially during the transition from the 6th to 5th millennia cal. BC, which is reflected in temper choice. Evidence from the earliest occupation of the site also agrees with the picture of discontinuity previously observed on nearby contexts between pioneer and traditional Cardial ceramic technology, which might be connected to neolithization routes. Firing technology is characterised by the occurrence of microstructure gradients and signs of fast heating rates.

本文介绍了来自Cova d'En Pardo（西班牙阿利坎特）的48个陶瓷样品的表征。种源和技术分析是对可追溯到新石器时代早期和中期不同文化阶段的材料进行的，包括该地区鲜为人知的先锋和心外膜水平。所采用的技术是光学岩石学和扫描电子显微镜。确定了两种主要织物，其特征是大量回火（生煤和方解石），以及五种较小的岩石学类别，包括两种进口，其中一种可能来自伊比利亚南部。现场内各职业阶段之间的比较揭示了沿地层系列的变化，特别是在从第6千年到第5千年的转换期间。公元前，这体现在脾气的选择上。该场地最早被占领的证据也与先前在先驱者和传统Cardial陶瓷技术之间的附近环境中观察到的不连续性相吻合，后者可能与新石器时代的路线有关。焙烧技术的特征是出现微观结构梯度和加热速度快的迹象。
