Apuntes sobre formación de sitios a partir de restos arqueomalacológicos. El conchero 4 del sitio Karoline (400 cal BC - 300 cal AD) de la costa Atlántica de Nicaragua)

Abstract

[EN] The detailed analysis of malacological fauna from shell middens has proved to have a big potential in archaeology. By one hand, a precise characterization of the sediments from this kind of context illuminates the dynamics of formation of an archaeological site. It permits to guess the speed of deposition of the shells and the formation of the sedimentary deposits, the continuity or not of this process, etc. Furthermore, the metric study of the shells facilitates indications on how their gathering was done and, even, on the pressure that their exploitation had over the species. This paper works on these questions trough the study of the shell midden number 4 from Karoline, a prehistoric village in the Atlantic Coast of Nicaragua.

[ES] El análisis detallado de la fauna malacológica procedente de concheros tiene un gran potencial en arqueología. Por una parte, la caracterización precisa de estos sedimentos ilustra las dinámicas de formación de un yacimiento, al permitir intuir la velocidad de sedimentación de las conchas o si se trató de un proceso continuo o no. Por la otra, el estudio métrico de las conchas facilita indicios sobre cómo se llevó a cabo la recolección de moluscos e incluso sobre la presión que la actividad extractiva ocasionó sobre cada especie. Este trabajo aborda estas cuestiones mediante el estudio del conchero 4 del yacimiento de Karoline, una aldea prehistórica de la Costa Atlántica de Nicaragua.
