Malacological artifacts in a hunther-gatherer context in Paravachasca (Córdoba Province, Argentina): An identity production?
This paper presents an assemblage of malacological items/artifacts recovered from two multicomponent sites located on the fluvial terraces of the Anisacate river, in the province of Córdoba. Six artifacts made from terrestrial mollusks, two complete specimens (shells) and fragments are described. Al...

I28-R145-13388_oai2025-11-17 Gordillo, Sandra Salazar, Julián 2024-06-24 This paper presents an assemblage of malacological items/artifacts recovered from two multicomponent sites located on the fluvial terraces of the Anisacate river, in the province of Córdoba. Six artifacts made from terrestrial mollusks, two complete specimens (shells) and fragments are described. All of them belong to the gastropod called Megalobulimus lorentzianus. The artifacts are typologically similar and are perforated. It is interpreted that they were made for corporal or symbolic use in ritual or burial events. According to the archaeological contexts recovered, which include knapped lithic assemblages with triangular and lanceolate points and grinding implements, and the almost complete absence of ceramics, it is interpreted that the main occupational component corresponds to an early Late Holocene hunter-gatherer context. The observation of traces in the artifacts and the presence of elements that could have been used as tools in their manufacture (manos and lithic and bone points) allow us to reconstruct and suggest an operational chain of bead production. Finally, this material is compared with typologically identical elements recovered in the region with absolute dating that reinforces the assumption of aesthetic patterns as identity languages at a regional level. En este trabajo se presenta un conjunto de elementos malacológicos recuperados en dos sitios multicomponentes ubicados sobre las terrazas fluviales del río Anisacate, en la provincia de Córdoba. Se describen seis artefactos confeccionados a partir de moluscos terrestres, dos especímenes enteros (conchas) y fragmentos, todos pertenecientes al gasterópodo Megalobulimus lorentzianus. Los artefactos son tipológicamente similares entre sí y están perforados. Se interpreta que fueron confeccionados para uso corporal o simbólico en eventos rituales o de inhumación. De acuerdo con los contextos arqueológicos recuperados, que incluyen conjuntos líticos tallados con puntas triangulares y lanceoladas e instrumentos de molienda, así como la ausencia casi absoluta de cerámica, se interpreta que el componente ocupacional principal corresponde a un entorno de cazadores-recolectores de inicios del Holoceno tardío. La observación de huellas en los artefactos y la presencia de elementos, que podrían haberse utilizado como herramientas en su manufactura (manos, puntas líticas y óseas), permiten reconstruir y sugerir una cadena operativa de producción de cuentas. Finalmente se compara este material con elementos tipológicamente idénticos recuperados en la región y datados de manera absoluta, que refuerzan el supuesto de patrones estéticos como lenguajes identitarios a nivel regional. application/pdf text/html https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/13388 10.34096/arqueologia.t30.n2.13388 spa Instituto de Arqueología, Facultad de Filosofía y Letras, Universidad de Buenos Aires https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/13388/12967 https://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/Arqueologia/article/view/13388/12968 Derechos de autor 2024 Sandra Gordillo, Julián Salazar Arqueología; Vol. 30 No. 2 (2024): mayo-agosto; 13388 Arqueología; Vol. 30 Núm. 2 (2024): mayo-agosto; 13388 1853-8126 0327-5159 Central Argentina Archaeomalacology Megalobulimus Local production Centro de Argentina Arqueomalacología Megalobulimus Producción local Malacological artifacts in a hunther-gatherer context in Paravachasca (Córdoba Province, Argentina): An identity production?
