| Abstract | A systematic, autoecologic and anthropic study of the mollusks and invertebrates of arqueologic intervention of Sala del Vestibulo of Cueva de Nerja (Malaga) has been accomplished. The sediments have been included between Upper Pleistocene and Holocene (21,000-6,000 B.P.). 48 species of invertebrates, 45 of them are mollusks: two species of scaphopods, 15 of bivalves and 30 of gastropods have been identified. The majority of gastropods are marines, of intermareal-rocks and one species from rivers (Melanopsis laevigata Lamarck, 1818) and other five species of Helicidae (Pulmonata) are continentals around of the cave. The rest of invertebrates are a echinoids (Echinodermata): Paracentrotus lividus (Linne, 1758) and two Crustacea (Balanus sp. and Brachiura sp.). The environment of the coast was mainly a beach in Upper Paleolitic (Wurm III-IV to Tardiglacial), so the hunting of infralitoral mollusks was of sand-mud. Three species of mollusks were utilized exclusively as ornamental elements: two scaphopods [Antalis inaequicostatum (Dautzenberg, 1896) and Antalis vulgare (Linne, 1758)] and a deep red gastropod [Jujubinus exasperatus (Pennant, 1777)]. |
