Abstract
Doscientos noventa colgantes elaborados sobre concha marina se han recuperado en un yacimiento arqueológico que se sitúa sobre un alto junto al río Cigüela, uno de los principales afluentes del río Guadiana. El lugar se llama “Los Parrales” y se localiza en el término municipal de Arenas de San Juan (Ciudad Real).
La relevancia del hallazgo se deriva del elevado número de cuentas prehistóricas encontradas, de su asociación a cerámica campaniforme, del tipo de enclave en el que han aparecido, de la profusa localización de material manufacturado de origen marino en un enclave del interior peninsular y de las circunstancias del hallazgo: no han aparecido durante una excavación estratigráfica, sino en superficie.
Los contactos culturales entre comunidades que habitaron los diversos tramos de la cuenca del río Guadiana, acreditados para otros momentos de la Prehistoria, constituyen una variable que puede ayudar a explicar este hallazgo.
Two hundred ninety sea shell beads have been found in an archaeological site located over a hill beside Cigüela river, tributary of Guadiana river. The place, in Arenas de San Juan (Ciudad Real), is called “Los Parrales”. It´s a most interesting find because of the high number of pieces founded, their association with Bell Baker pottery, the finding of many sea manufactured objects in the inland of the Iberian Peninsula or the discovery circumstances: appeared not in an archaeological stratigraphy but in surface survey. Cultural contacts between people who lived in different sections of Guadiana river, confirmed in other prehistoric periods, can help to explain this find.
