El libro propone, basado en el materialismo historico, la existencia y desarrollo de un modo de produccion comunal como funcionamiento basico entre las formaciones sociales que poblaron el territorio de la Depresion de Vera y la Cuenca del rio Almanzora (Almeria) entre finales del VI y mediados del III milenio ANE. El modo de produccion comunal se combino con una organizacion social tribal para extenderse sobre el territorio. La reproduccion social se organizo a partir de comunidades domesticas donde las relaciones parentales regulaban la fuerza de trabajo y el acceso al producto a partir de una reciprocidad generalizada que mantenia como norma basica la igualdad en la participacion en el trabajo y el acceso a lo producido. Sin embargo, la progresiva fragmentacion del sujeto colectivo generara una extension de la fuerza de trabajo donde la reciprocidad ira pasando de generalizada a negativa, restringida cada vez mas a grupos domesticos organizados a partir de lo que denominamos unidades territoriales A comienzos del III milenio ANE los mecanismos de fragmentacion social parecen iniciar un colapso y algunas comunidades domesticas parecen desarrollarse por encima de otras, con lo que la degradacion del modo de produccion comunal se hace evidente, y con ella la conflictividad social.
This book, with a theoretical grounding in historical materialism, proposes the existence and development of a communal mode of production as a basic element of the social structures of the groups populating the territory of la Depresion de Vera and la Cuenca del rio Almanzora (Almeria) between the end of the 6th and the middle of the 3rd millennium BCE. This mode of production, combined with a tribal social organisation, extended itself over the territory. Cultural reproduction was organised through domestic communities in which parental relationships regulated the labour force and access to products via a generalised reciprocity. This ensured, as a basic rule, equality of participation in work and access to what that work produced. However, the progressive fragmentation of the collective subject would generate an extension of the labour force, in which that reciprocity would turn from generalised to negative, and increasingly be restricted to domestic groups organised into what we would call territorial units. At the beginning of the 3rd millennium BCE, social fragmentation mechanisms seem to initiate a collapse and some domestic communities seem to develop over and above others, so that the degradation of the communal mode of production becomes evident, together with accompanying social unrest.
