Abstract
Hispanic protohistoric archaeology counts on an increasing repertoire of seashell pavements. These special grounds appear in the Iberian South, from Portugal to, at least, the Spanish province of Alicante. Their presence in the Middle East and their greater antiquity in the Syrian-Palestinian area prove that they were another cultural element out of the many others that reached The Western World with the Phoenician colonization. In both ends of the Mediterranean Sea, seashell floors were used as apotropaic elements placed in the accesses of cult buildings and other constructions.
