The Bom Santo Cave (Lisbon, Portugal): Catchment, Diet, and Patterns of Mobility of a Middle Neolithic Population. European Journal of Archaeology, 19(2), 187–214. https://doi.org/10.1179/1461957115Y.00000000141461-9571https://hdl.handle.net/10289/11807The study of the Bom Santo Cave (central Portugal), a Neolithic cemetery, indicated a complex social, palaeoeconomic and population scenario. With isotope, aDNA and provenience analyses of raw materials coupled with stylistic variability of material culture items and palaeogeographical data light is shed on the territory and social organization of a population dated to 3800–3400 cal BC, i.e. the middle phase of the period. Results indicate an itinerant farming, segmentary society, where exogamic practices were the norm and patrilocality probably predominated. Its lifeway may be that of the earliest megalithic builders of the region, but further research is needed to correctly evaluate the degree of participation in such phenomenon.application/pdfenThis is an author’s accepted version of an article published in the journal: European Journal of Archaeology. © Taylor & Francis.Social SciencesArchaeologyPortugalNeolithicburial cavesbioanthropologySTRONTIUM ISOTOPE ANALYSISANCIENT DNA1ST FARMERSMIGRATIONEUROPESR-87/SR-86ARCHAEOLOGYSUPPORTSKINSHIPHUMANSJournal Article10.1179/1461957115Y.00000000141741-2722
