“…On the contrary, pottery vessels were used for processing aquatic products in several regions of northern Europe (e.g., Southern Scandinavia and Baltic region: Craig et al, 2011;Heron et al, 2015;Isaksson and Hallgren, 2012;Oras et al, 2016). Notwithstanding, in MNA and MNB sites, mollusc shells and fish are part of the faunal remains (Bignon et al, 2008;Fanti et al, 2017;Lugliè et al, forthcoming), although their relative importance in Sardinian MN economy have to be assessed by archaeozoological analyses. Given our findings, the dissimilarity between MNB pottery contents and faunal record reflects specific behaviours and different technical and/or symbolic subsystems in the use of distinct kinds of resources (ruminant and plant foods vs. non-ruminant and marine products), with a differential integration of vessels in the activities aimed at processing, consuming and storing these products.…”
