Collection and modification of Glycymeris shellsduring the Bronze Age. A case study from Larda I and Larda II (Rovigo, North-eastern Italy)
The Palaeolithic saw the first use of marine molluscs as ornaments, representing one of humankind’s first forms of symbolic material culture.The earliest evidence of a deliberate collection of Glycymeris shells as ornaments comes from Middle Paleolithic sites. This trend is well documented during the Upper Paleolithic, becoming particularly widespread in the late prehistoric contexts of Northern Italy.This study aims at investigating the modaliti…
Early Upper Palaeolithic marine mollusc exploitation at Riparo Bombrini (Balzi Rossi, Italy)
This research explores the modes of exploitation of marine molluscs at Riparo Bombrini (Ventimiglia, north-west Italy) during the Protoaurignacian and the Early Aurignacian. Our results prove that Early Modern Humans who inhabited the rockshelter extensively exploited marine malacofauna for both dietary purposes and ornament production, offering new insights into human adaptation to coastal environments during the early phases of the Upper Palaeo…
What can microshells tell us? A case-study from the Palaeolithic site of Riparo Bombrini (Balzi Rossi, NW Italy)
The exploitation of marine molluscs during the Middle and Upper Palaeolithic is a topic that has been extensively investigated over the last few years, shedding light on human adaptations in coastal environments. However, such studies mainly focus on the role of marine molluscs in the subsistence practices of the hunter-fisher-gatherers of the Mediterranean Basin. Although small, non-dietary gastropods found in archaeological deposits have the po…
