Abstract
The objective of this paper is to assess foodstuff storage throughout Recent Prehistory (5600-50BCE) from the standpoint of the three diferent types (household, surplus and supra-household) identified in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula . The volumètric data of the underground silos serves as a proxy to evaluate the link between them and the agricultural systems and technological changes. The study also assesses the ability, and specifically, the will of the ancient communities of the northeastern Iberia to generate domèstic and extra-domestic surpluses.
