In this paper we present the results of the study of marine mollusk shells from five archaeological sites corresponding to the Late Holocene and four public and private collections coming from the middle valley of the Negro River and other areas of Northern Patagonia. Perforated elements (beads and...

Perforated elements (beads and pendants), present at most of the sites in the area, are not included in the analysis. The main goal of this work is to assess the varied uses of these objects during the Late Holocene. With that aim, all the specimens were described morphologically and determined taxonomically, and then the potential functions were evaluated. The results show the predominance of volutids (gastropod mollusks) from the Atlantic Ocean, most of them with evidence of human modifications. On this basis, we propose that mollusks were transported inland, and used in hunter-gatherer residential camps as raw material for making utilitarian artifacts, mainly containers. Finally, there are not clear evidences of the symbolic use of shells as mortuary-related artifacts. En este trabajo se presentan los resultados del estudio arqueomalacológico de las conchas de moluscos marinos procedentes de cinco sitios arqueológicos asignados al Holoceno tardío y de cuatro colecciones públicas y privadas del valle medio del río Negro y otras zonas vecinas de Norpatagonia. No se incluyen en el análisis los elementos perforados (cuentas y colgantes) presentes en la mayoría de los sitios del área. El objetivo principal del trabajo es evaluar la variabilidad de usos de estos objetos durante el Holoceno tardío. Se presenta la identificación taxonómica de los especímenes, se describen los tipos de artefactos predominantes en la muestra y se discuten los posibles usos y funciones. Los resultados muestran la predominancia de volútidos, disponibles en el litoral atlántico, con evidencias de formatización. En base al análisis se infiere que las conchas de moluscos marinos habrían sido trasladadas al interior norpatagónico para ser usadas como materia prima para la confección de artefactos, principalmente contenedores, utilizados en los campamentos residenciales de los grupos cazadores-recolectores. Por otra parte, no parece haber evidencias claras del uso de moluscos en contextos mortuorios. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/9926 10.34096/arqueologia.t28.n1.9926 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/9926/10040 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/9926/12040 Derechos de autor 2021 Maitén Di Lorenzo, Emiliano Mange, Heidi Hammond, Luciano Prates Arqueología; Vol. 28 No. 1 (2022): January-April; 9926 Arqueología; Vol. 28 Núm. 1 (2022): enero-abril; 9926 1853-8126 0327-5159 Archaeomalacology Shells Volutids Containers Northern Patagonia Arqueomalacología Conchas Volútidos Contenedores Norpatagonia The use of marine mollusks by Late Holocene hunter-gatherer groups at inland North Patagonia (Río Negro province, Argentina) El uso de moluscos marinos entre los grupos cazadores recolectores del interior norpatagónico en el Holoceno tardío (provincia de Río Negro, Argentina) info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=arqueo&d=9926_oai
