El consumo de conchas marinas durante la Edad del Bronce en la fachada mediterránea de la Península Ibérica

Abstract

The archaeological record of the Bronze Age in the Eastern part of the Iberian Peninsula shows the practices of procurement, manufacture, use and consumption of marine shells. Their use as an alimentary resource in the coastal zones, as working instruments and especially as an adornment was very intense during all the periods of the Late Prehistory. However, the importance of malacological remains dated to the Bronze Age has not been yet appropriately assessed.
