● Samples were recovered from two main sites ○ Site 47 near El Azúcar
(Guangala) ○ Site T2-2 near Chanduy
(Manteño-Huancavilca)

Hypotheses 1. Shell reduction - combination of sawing and
knapping processes 2. Drilling - comparing Guangala and
Manteño-Huancavilca beads 3. Grinding - added to shell reduction process
during Manteño-Huancavilca
How did they get from a Spondylus shell to a 4 mm bead?

Shell Reduction: Sawing

Comparison of Drilling Methods
Although the drill hole rims of both the Guangala and M-H beads were smooth, the interior
cavity of the M-H bead was smoother than that of the Guangala bead.

● Find fracture lines
● Obsidian pieces to cut
![Page 30: the guangala and manteño-huancavilca shell ornament production](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032711/58516c6d1a28abfa398c4032/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
● Under five minutes
● No grit, lemon, or boiling
● 1mm deep cut
● considerably efficient
![Page 31: the guangala and manteño-huancavilca shell ornament production](https://reader030.vdocuments.net/reader030/viewer/2022032711/58516c6d1a28abfa398c4032/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
● Compared ridges:
experimental and original
● pre-existing vs. created
fractures
● Fracture creation risky
● More research
Experimental Original
