- Abstract
The focus of this paper is the ornament hoard from the Sopot culture site of Čepin-Ov-Čara in eastern Slavonia (the Republic of Croatia). The hoard contained pendants and beads madeof shells of marine clam Spondylus gaederopus and scaphopod Antalis vulgaris. The paper analysesthe context and use wear of the objects in the hoard. The results form a basis for: the reconstructionof the role of some of the items and the ways in which they were worn; the premise that the dynamicsand mechanisms of acquisition of ornaments made of the two Mediterranean mollusc speciescould have differed; and the identification of a cross-cultural pattern of deposition of ornament hoards
