Abstract
In contrast, in the period c. 7.4 to 6.0Â cal ka BP, attributed to the Middle and Early Neolithic, there is a certain stratigraphic continuity. From the sedimentary point of view it is distinguished by a variability of processes that responds to accumulative episodes of short duration characteristic of morphogenesis of the slopes in an arid Mediterranean environment, identified in our records as RCCs, (c. 7.4-7.2Â cal ka BP- Cardial Neolithic; c. 6.8-6.3Â cal ka BP-Early Postcardial Middle Neolithic and c. 6.2-5.7Â cal ka BP- Late Postcardial Middle Neolithic) alternating with episodes of stability, more humid and coinciding with a better sedimentary record of the pastoral activity in the cavities during Epicardial and Late Cardial Neolithic (c. 7.1-6.7Â cal ka BP) and Postcardial Middle Neolithic (c. 6.6-5.9Â cal ka BP). It is during this period that Holocene climate variability has better resolution in caves in the Catalan Coastal Ranges of NE Iberia.
