This paper analyzes a set of ornamental malacological artifacts (beads) recovered in association with human bone remains in the vicinity of Villa Santa Rosa (31° 12.9’ 56’’ S; 63° 21.8’ 66’’ W), Province of Córdoba. For each element, quantitative and qualitative morphological attributes (weight, shape, size, contour, and presence, position and size of perforations) were analyzed. A total of 32 formatted elements with two different types are recognized. One of them corresponds to 28 circular discs with biconcave perforations and which, according to their size, shape and homogeneity, is subdivided into two subtypes. The second typology represents a novel design since no other similar artifacts are known, and it is made up of 4 pieces with trunk-conical shape provided with an internal tubular sector, which functionally would be equivalent to a perforation. These last pieces were made from a specific sector (umbilical zone) of the shell of the terrestrial snail Megalobulimus (probably the local species M. lorentzianus). This new finding is added to other previously made in the Province of Córdoba, which account for the association between mollusks with human remains, particularly female individuals. The habitat of the species used for the preparation of beads, the sequence of their manufacture, and the functionality of these artefacts, mainly related to social and symbolic issues of the populations that inhabited the late Holocene in this region, are analyzed. |

Arqueomalacología cuentas caracol terrestre Megalobulimus lorentzianus Holoceno tardío Córdoba This paper analyzes a set of ornamental malacological artifacts (beads) recovered in association with human bone remains in the vicinity of Villa Santa Rosa (31° 12.9’ 56’’ S; 63° 21.8’ 66’’ W), Province of Córdoba.

Este trabajo analiza un conjunto de artefactos malacológicos ornamentales (cuentas) recuperados en asociación con restos óseos humanos en proximidades de la localidad de Villa Santa Rosa (31° 12,9´ 56´´ LS; 63° 21.8´ 66´´ LO), Provincia de Córdoba. Para cada elemento se analizaron atributos morfológicos cuantitativos y cualitativos (peso, forma, tamaño, contorno, y presencia, posición y tamaño de perforaciones). Se reconocen 32 elementos formatizados con dos tipologías diferentes. Una corresponde a 28 discos circulares con perforaciones bicóncavas y que, de acuerdo a su tamaño, forma y homogeneidad, se subdividen en dos subtipos. La segunda tipología representa un diseño novedoso, ya que no se conocen otros artefactos similares, y está conformada por 4 piezas tronco-cónicas provistas de un sector tubular interno, que funcionalmente equivaldría a una perforación. Estas últimas piezas fueron confeccionadas a partir de un sector específico (zona umbilical) de la concha del caracol terrestre Megalobulimus (probablemente la especie local M. lorentzianus). Este nuevo hallazgo se suma a otros realizados previamente en la Provincia de Córdoba, que dan cuenta de la asociación entre moluscos con restos óseos humanos. Se analiza el hábitat de la especie utilizada para la confeccion de cuentas, la secuencia de manufactura de las mismas, y la funcionalidad de estos artefactos, vinculada principalmente a cuestiones sociales y simbólicas de las poblaciones que habitaron durante el Holoceno tardío en esta región.
