Reflections on the Other Side. A Southern Iberia Origin for the First Pottery Production of Northern Morocco? Martínez Sánchez, Rafael M. Gámiz Caro, Jesús Radiocarbon dating Northern Morocco Early Neolithic First pottery productions Southern Iberia Prehistoric navigation Archaeological works in Morocco (the Spanish-Moroccan team) were funded by a European Research Council Advanced Grant AGRIWESTMED (Origins and spread of agriculture in the western Mediterranean region) coordinated by L.P.-CH. Processing works were performed thanks to a IJCI-2016-27812 -Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities-Universidad de Granada, Juan de la Cierva-Incorporacion Agreement (2016, by RMMS), and by funding provided in the framework of project "Archaeobiology of the Neolithic of the Southern Iberian Peninsula" (NeArqBioSI) A-HUM-460-UGR18 by Consejeria de Economia, Conocimiento, Empresas y Universidad. FEDER Programme - Andalusian CouncilGranada University. Finally, G. Perez-Jorda has carried out this research within the grant CIDEGENT/2019/00, funded by the Generalitat Valenciana. This work is a starting point for rethinking the role of the Iberian Peninsula in the neolithisation of northern Morocco. It focuses on the similarities and divergences between the first pottery productions and their decorations in both territories. This relationship is supported by the existence of an accurate chronological gradation between the first evidence of Neolithisation in Iberian Peninsula and that of northern Morocco which suggests a north–south direction. We also present arguments on the possible links between the early ceramics from the north of Morocco and those from the south of Iberia, providing a first approach to an issue that will need to be carefully analysed in future research. 2021-11-02T08:46:32Z 2021-11-02T08:46:32Z 2021-09-27 journal article Martínez Sánchez, R...
