Differences in pottery technology and style between the Cardial and Epicardial periods have been used to study the social dynamics behind the spread of agriculture and pastoralism in the northwestern Mediterranean. This paper presents new data regarding pottery use from Early Neolithic settlements in the Barcelona plain in the sixth and fifth millennia cal BC. The recovery of organic residues from a set of 74 ceramic sherds provides the opportunity to detect changes in pottery use. The exclusive presence of non-ruminant adipose products in Cardial vessels and the sole identification of dairy products in Late Epicardial vessels are accompanied by the detection of high temperature biomarkers only in the latter period. These results suggest that, at least on a local scale, the two pottery types may have been used differently in activities transforming terrestrial animal products.

在心脏和心外膜时期之间的陶器技术和风格上的差异已被用来研究西北地中海农业和牧民主义传播背后的社会动力。本文提供了有关公元前六千年和五千年前巴塞罗那平原新石器时代早期定居点的陶器使用的新数据。从一组74个陶瓷板中回收有机残留物提供了检测陶器使用变化的机会。心脏血管中非反刍动物脂肪产品的独家存在以及心外膜晚期血管中乳制品的唯一识别，只有在后期才检测到高温生物标志物。这些结果表明，至少在本地范围内，
