Abstract
The aim of this work is to determine the management of the ovicaprine livestock from the Chalcolithic and Bronze Age levels of the El Portalón site (Sierra de Atapuerca, Burgos), through the zooarchaeological and taphonomic analysis of the bone remains. The ovicaprine exploitation in Chalcolithic level of El Portalón was a mixed strategy, focused heavily upon secondary products (wool, milk and dairy products). This exploitation pattern is similar to that found for ovicaprine assemblages from other Chalcolithic sites in the Peninsula.The results from the Bronze Age of El Portalón also indicated a mixed ovicaprine exploitation strategy, which focused mostly on primary (61.9%) and less on secondary products (38.1%). This pattern is more similar to the Bronze Age sites from the east and north of Spain (with some exceptions), and contrary to Argaric (Bronze Age) culture levelsof the sites in the southeast of the Peninsula.
