Sažetak

Perforated shells figure prominently in discussions of exchange systems
and body ornamentation during the Mesolithic in Europe. In this
paper we discuss assemblages of perforated snail shells recovered from
recent excavations of Mesolithic sites in Croatia. Numerous finds
are found in several sites in Northern Adriatic and in Zala Cave
in Croatia’s inland region of Ogulin-Plaški intermountain valley.
Perforated marine and freshwater snail shells from both regions suggest
the existence of regional exchange systems during the Mesolithic
between coastal and inland areas.
