Abstract

Abstract : In the settlement from Hârșova-tell has been identified a series of valve-shells of the species Unio, in different processing stages, from entire valve-shells, simply perforated, and irregular chips, to finished pearls, used as decorative objects. The material we studied has been attributed to Gumelnița culture. The goal of such an approach is to recover the processes of raw matter acquisition, production, use and abandon, and sometimes reuse, with a view to understanding the way how the pearls were made and their possible social or symbolical implications.
