Saddle-shaped finger-rings are among the most widespread types of Late Iron Age jewellery. Such ornaments are encountered throughout the entire period in question, from south-western Germany, western Switzerland and northern Italy to Transylvania and Banat in Romania, sporadically also reaching the Lower Danube region. This article analyses the evolution of this type of finger-rings and their use within the Late Iron Age communities of the Carpathian Basin. The analysis offers important information regarding the nature of social and cultural connections established within each community and also between different communities from this geographic area during the Late Iron Age.

This PhD dissertation investigates patterns in ornament production, use, and exchange in the pre-colonial Caribbean. The first half proposes a research strategy for studying circum-Caribbean collections through technological and microwear analyses. Additionally, an ethnographic collection of indigenous ornaments from South America is studied as basis for interpretation of use-wear. In the second part, Ceramic Age archaeological collections from the Lesser and Greater Antilles are analysed. The presence of certain technical products and of use-wear are combined to reach a more complex understanding of social interactions and the mechanisms responsible for them. Esta tesis de doctorado investiga los patrones de producción, uso e intercambio de adornos corporales en el Caribe pre-colonial. En la primera parte, una estrategia de investigación es propuesta para el estudio de colecciones circum-caribeñas a partir de la combinación del análisis tecnológico y de la traceología. Al mismo tiempo, una colección etnográfica de adornos corporales indígenas de la América del Sur es estudiada como base para la interpretación de trazas de uso. En la segunda parte, son analizadas colecciones arqueológicas del período ceramista en las Antillas Menores y Mayores. La presencia de ciertos productos técnicos y trazas de uso son consideras en conjunto a fin de proporcionar mejor comprensión de las interacciones sociales y de los mecanismos que las han permitido. Esta tese de doutorado investiga padrões de produção, uso e intercâmbio de adornos corporais no Caribe pré-colonial. Na primeira parte, uma estratégia de pesquisa é proposta para o estudo de coleções circum-caribenhas, combinando análise tecnológica e traceológica. Ao mesmo tempo, uma coleção etnográfica de adornos corporais indígenas da América do Sul é estudada como base para interpretações dos traços de uso. Na segunda parte, são analisadas coleções arqueológicas das Antilhas Menores e Maiores datadas do período ceramista. A presença de certos produtos técnicos e de traços de uso é considerada de modo a proporcionar uma compreensão mais complexa acerca das interações sociais e dos mecanismos que as teriam permitido.

Adorning one’s body was a widespread practice in the precolonial Caribbean, notably during the Ceramic Age (400 BC–ca. AD 1500). Despite the abundance of ornament collections recovered from the region, much remains unknown concerning their biographies. This dissertation aims to elucidate evolving patterns in ornament production, use, and exchange through technological and microwear analyses. It is composed of four articles published in peer-reviewed journals. The first half proposes a research strategy for studying circum-Caribbean collections, which are markedly diverse in their origins, raw materials, and preservation state. Furthermore, an ethnographic museum collection, including whole necklaces, is studied as basis for interpretation. In the second part, collections from two time periods are studied: 1) the early part of the Early Ceramic Age in the eastern Caribbean; and 2) the Late Ceramic Age in the Greater Antilles. In each case-study, the presence of technical products and use-wear are combined to elucidate exchange patterns. This approach contributes toward a new assessment of large-scale interactions and the social mechanisms responsible for them. The dissertation concludes by reflecting on the changing ways people have handled, engaged with, and ultimately regarded ornaments over the course of the Ceramic Age period.

Resumo Este artigo aborda os envolvimentos entre os índios do alto rio Negro e os seus adornos cerimoniais a partir de uma etnografia realizada entre os Baniwa do clã Hohodeni, um coletivo de língua Arawak que vive na região. Após discutir a morfologia destes objetos, destaco a diferença entre a sua produção nos tempos originários e nos tempos atuais. Esta análise indicará como o conhecimento mítico e ritual é mobilizado para a transformação de seres vivos em artefatos, situando as relações entre humanos, animais e vegetais no conjunto mais amplo de relações entretidas entre humanos e não humanos. Ao final, comparo os adornos aos benzimentos rituais necessários para fabricá-los, sugerindo uma visão mais ampla da “estética da produção” rionegrina. Abstract This article discusses how the Amerindians of the Upper Rio Negro engage with their ceremonial ornaments through an ethnography of the Baniwa of the Hohodeni clan, an Arawak speaking people. After discussing the morphology of these objects, I highlight the difference between their production in the past and the present. This analysis will show how mythic and ritual knowledge is mobilized in the transformation of living beings into artefacts, placing human, animal, and plant interactions within the broader set of relations between humans and nonhumans. Finally, I compare the ornaments to the ritual spells that are needed to fabricate them, proposing a broader view of the Upper Rio Negro “aesthetics of production”. Resumen Este artículo aborda los vínculos entre los indios del alto río Negro y sus adornos ceremoniales a partir de una etnografía realizada entre los Baniwa del clan Hohodeni, un colectivo de lengua Arawak que habita en la región. Después de discutir la morfología de estos objetos, resaltaré la diferencia entre su producción en los tiempos originarios y en los tiempos actuales. Este análisis delineará la manera en que el conocimiento mítico y ritual es movilizado para la transformación de seres vivos en artefactos, situando las interacciones entre humanos, animales y vegetales en el conjunto más amplio de relaciones entre los seres humanos y no humanos. Finalmente, comparo los adornos a los rezos rituales necesarios para fabricarlos, sugiriendo una visión más amplia de la “estética de la producción” rionegrina.
