Resumo

The usefulness of the term 'ethnolinguistic group', as a construct suggesting that 'differences in language automatically translate into differences in culture', has been questioned by Welsch, Terrel and Nadolski (1992). Not many researchers would insist on the term 'automatically', but would nevertheless support an argument for a strong correlation between material culture and language. As a contribution to this debate, we discuss two types of wood shields of the Torricelli Mountains (one of which is being identified for the first time) and pigskin shields to the south of the Torricellis, their use, and the details of the carved designs of the wood shields. The results of our analysis provide limited support for the correlation of material culture and language but highlight the need for analysis of material culture based on reliable data for a large number and wide range of artefacts, from defined regions, presently held in museums and private collections worldwide.
