Gli ornamenti su conchiglia della necropoli di Anghelu Ruju (Alghero, SS): aspetti tipologici e tecnologici

A study of the Domus de Janas necropolis at Anghelu Ruju, Sardinia, reveals that seashell ornaments—ranging from simple holed shells to elaborate beads, bracelets, and pendants—were prominent grave goods during the Eneolithic and Early Bronze Age. The research classifies these artifacts based on anthropic modifications and integrates morphological, morphometric, and technological analyses to identify potential chronological and geographical patterns in their use across Sardinia. This approach sheds light on the significance of seashell ornaments as prestige items during this period.
