Molluscs from hunter-gatherer societies have generally given second place in fau- nal analyses in spite of the fact that these remains provide valuable insights about many aspects of human societies. In this paper the molluscs used by hunter-gatherer groups occupying the northern coast of Santa Cruz province in the Argentinian Patagonia are presented. The aim is to analyze the role these resources played during the late Holocene in the subsistence strategies deployed by people that inhabited the area. Mollusc assemblages from ten shell middens were studied and the species abundances as well as the preservation of the remains evaluated. Har- vesting places and strategies deployed, along with the biometry of the most common species are evaluated. Biometric differences over time reveal a process of recurrent exploitation that hint at a slight intensification of resource use during the late Holocene
