Abstract
The present paper refers to the different stages that have taken place in the knowledge of the beginning of Recent Prehistory within the geographical scope proposed in the Congress. Consequently, fi rst of all, the paper looks at the bodies and institutions on which the historical archaeological heritage has depended since the XIX century. Additionally, the most signifi cant discoveries from the period are presented; discoveries that were the driving force behind the incipient research that has lasted until today. Following this, the paper explains the work systems used today to study the materials recovered from archaeological sites, which are the key to interpreting the said locations. Finally, a summary is offered of the present state of knowledge on the Mesolithic and the Neolithic in the region.
