An approach to prehistoric shepherding in La Gomera (Canary Islands) through the study of domestic spaces

To this end, thirteen archaeological sondages have been carried out in five separate points of the island. Exhumed archaeological materials relating them to the stratigraphic context of each domestic space are analyzed. Data from the consumption of food, especially those from the livestock, has been studied. The text provides preliminary information on shepherding and management of the island territory by ancient Gomerans.
