ABSTRACT Stone bracelets are one of the most outstanding aspects of personal ornamentation of the Early Neolithic in the south of the Iberian Peninsula (5500–4800 cal. BC). These ornaments are an element of cultural identity and a chronological marker of the first Neolithic societies in this area. Discovery and study of the Neolithic quarry of Cortijo Cevico (Loja, Granada) has allowed us to identify the extraction and initial reduction of dolomitic marble for the manufacture of bracelets. The archaeological assemblage from the quarry comprises knapping waste, circular roughouts (from which bracelets were manufactured), and the tools used in these activities. In this paper, we evaluate the evidence for apprenticeship processes in the quarry. We use different methodological resources to demonstrate that knowledge transmission occurred in the quarry including experimental knapping by experienced and novice knappers, ethnographic examples, and the application of diacritical schemes to the abandoned archaeological roughouts.

塑造大理石，塑造思想：早期新石器时代手镯采石场的学徒制

摘要石质手链是伊比利亚半岛南部（公元前5500-4800年）南部新石器时代早期个人装饰的最杰出方面之一。这些装饰物是文化认同的元素，也是该地区最早的新石器时代社会的年代记号。对Cortijo Cevico（格拉纳达洛哈）的新石器时代采石场的发现和研究使我们能够识别出用于生产手镯的白云石大理石的提取和初步还原。采石场的考古组合包括打waste废料，圆形草皮（用于制造手镯）和用于这些活动的工具。在本文中，我们评估了采石场学徒过程的证据。
