  • This article analyzes the ornaments made with the teeth of carnivores during the ancient Neolithic of the Iberian Peninsula, between the second half of the 6th and the first half of the 5th millennium BC on calibrated dates. It has been reviewed the teeth manipulated by humans from the Cova de l’Or, Cova de la Sarsa and the Cueva de Nerja, establishing its anatomical attribution, absent in most of the publications, and carrying out an exhaustive review of the ornaments made with these supports in the Iberian bibliography. The result is that, despite the fact that during the Neolithic the ornaments made on the remains of carnivores were scarce compared to those made on other supports, in the Iberian Peninsula the use of various teeth (canines, incisors, molars and premolars) was confirmed. These teeth correspond to at least six species belonging to four families: Felidae (Lynx pardinus and Felis silvestris), Canidae (Vulpes vulpes, Cf. Canis and Canis lupus), Mustelidae (Meles meles) and Ursidae (Ursus arctos).
