Reference collections of the Institución Milà i Fontanals for the study of prehistoric societies: Archeology from an experimental and technological perspective

The Archaeology of Social Dynamics Group of the IMF-CSIC has among its objectives to explain the social dynamics of human groups in Prehistory, starting from the detailed study of the productive and reproductive processes. With this perspective, a series of reference collections have been created, and these materials have contributed to significant advances in the archaeological questions of our research projects. Besides, these reference materials have become relevant collections in global terms for archaeological research, attracting specialists and researchers in training who have been using them for years through agreements and institutional cooperation. All the collections are in permanent formation, increasing their scope and updating both from a methodological perspective and the one that refers to the application of new technologies.
