| Summary: | In recent years, modified Mediterranean marine shells (especially Columbella rustica) have been documented in Mesolithic sites in the Southern Pyrenees and Ebro Basin. Some scholars suggest that the presence of this gastropod allows us to identify a long-distance social network that created a common "cultural landscape". We introduce new data obtained in the South-eastern Pyrenean site of Balma Guilanyà. The chronometric and technical contextualization of this assemblage reveals the transformations that affected the technical, social and cultural spheres of the Postglacial hunter-gatherers from the South Pyrenees and Ebro Valley. |
