Entre 450 et 1000 apr. J.-C., les coquilles jouent un rôle fondamental dans les dynamiques socioeconomiques et culturelles des populations installees dans le bassin de Sayula. La presence d'un grand nombre d'indices de manufacture offre des donnees inedites sur l'exploitation des ressources marines pour la fabrication de parures. Une analyse systematique du materiel est menee, prenant en compte trois aspects: taxonomique, typologique et technologique. Les traces techniques, macro et microscopiques, sont observees; le travail est complete par l'analyse de micrographies (Microscope Electronique a Balayage) et par la mise en place d'un protocole experimental. Un modèle de classification des pièces en fonction de leur degre de transformation est etabli (matière première, ebauche, preforme, dechet, objet fini, etc.), ce qui permet de determiner leur place au sein de la chaîne operatoire (preparation, debitage, façonnage, finition). Cette recherche contribue a une meilleure comprehension des comportements techniques des artisans prehispaniques, ainsi que des mecanismes de production des economies passees. Between 450 and 1000 AD, seashells played a fundamental role in the socioeconomic and cultural dynamics of the populations living in the region of the Sayula Basin. The study of the exploitation of marine resources used to manufacture seashell adornments provides new data stemming from the large number of technical products. Mas has here carried out a detailed and systematic description of the malacological remains, from three analytical perspectives: taxonomic, typological and technological. The book includes a description of adornments' technical traces, based on macroscopic, microscopic and micrographic observations (using a Scanning Electron Microscope) which is complemented with experimental protocols. The work establishes a model for the classification of each artifact according to its degree of transformation (such as blank, roughout, preform, debris, finished object, etc.) and thus determines its place in the operational sequence (the treatment of the raw material, the debitage, the shaping, and the finishing process). This research offers insights into the behaviour of pre-Hispanic craftsmen, and contributes towards an understanding of the mechanisms of past economies.
