Abstract

The aim of this paper is to reconstruct some issues related to social division of labour and the existence of a surplus production among the ancient Canarians. These two aspects are basic to establish the nature of the social relations of production in Gran Canaria Island in the pre-European period. Archaeological data are employed in order to evaluate their suitability to produce interpretable results in historical terms. Data from our research have provided evidences of the production, exchange and consumption of different products in both local and island scale. This new archaeological data provide increasing evidences of a specialized social and economic organization, oriented to obtain a surplus. This pattern is clearer in the last period of Pre-Hispanic Stage (XIII to XV centuries).
