Since the 1950s, archaeological activity has been especially prolific in Spanish regions such as Catalonia. This process brings the possibility to discover and excavate some of the most important archaeological sites in order to study the main cultural events in the past. This has been the case of Cova del Toll and Cova de la Font Major, whose cardial pottery collections have been a reference for the study of the Early Neolithic. However, methodological procedures employed at that moment do not help to give a strong, contextaulised dataset. In this work we present the results of the interventions carried out in both sites between 2006 and 2011. The combination of new Early Neolithic remains and short-lived C14 AMS dates has allowed us to put back the cardial phase of Cova del Toll, as well as to date for the first time de Early Neolithic of Cova de la Font Major.
