"Cocina cave has been considered one of the main sites when explaining the transition from Mesolithic to Neolithic in the Iberian Mediterranean façade. But the current review of its stratigraphy has evidenced important post-depositional disturbances affecting those layers where Neolithic pottery is present. These taphonomic problems question the usefulness of this record in any detailed approach to a potential process of acculturation of the local Mesolithic groups. Despite this negative preservation, and using decorative traits as a proxy, we have isolated two ceramic contexts with inner coherence. Over these contexts, we have developed a Bayesian approach to compare them with other well-dated regional contexts. To contextualise the obtained sequence, we decided to extend the analysis to a wide set of Neolithic known contexts from an area that covers most of the coastal Iberian Mediterranean region, from the Ebro basin in the North to the Segura basin in the South. These contexts have been organised in chronological windows, and a Social Networks Analysis (SNA) has been applied. Results confirm the insertion of Cocina in the regional Neolithic dynamics. After the first stage, with an important degree of cultural homogeneity, the analysis also outlines the existence of a cultural frontier among Neolithic groups North and South of the Xúquer basin, at least from the mid-seventh millennium cal BP."

Construction
"In the first stage, we collect information from all the pieces of sherd. This information involves data from different aspects: morphology, decorative techniques, fastening systems, preservation, and origin from any piece of sherd. All this data is added to a file included in the Pottery Data Base of the site." "Both files (Sherds and Vessels) are connected, so information from one level can be used to work with the other. This allows us to have a very flexible and fluent working system. This is especially important when evaluating post-depositional movements and shifting of the sherds identified as part of the same vessel." "The SNA makes it possible to observe the diachronic evolution of social interactions between the communities that are part of the chosen framework. For these analyses to be relevant, only those items with traits that present an evident variation in time and/or space will be useful. For these analyses to be relevant, only those traits that present an evident variation in time and a limited dispersion in space will be useful, because otherwise no difference would be detected. Those without distinctive features will mainly provide noise to the analysis. Thus, the selection criteria of material culture must be crafted following those of frequency, diversity, and representativeness, which would guarantee significant results (Jiménez-Puerto, 2022). An adequate selection of the chrono-geographic framework is also important. Due to the nature of the data employed (chronological and material), the analysis will focus on the role each site plays in the network, that is the micro-scale. For this work, the selected geographical scope includes the Ebro, Xúquer, and Segura hydrographic basins, while the chronological scope is defined by the interval 7600-6400 cal BP. The material culture analysed will correspond to ceramic collections of the period on which a series of relevant decorative features will be considered in the Bayesian analysis."
