Abstract

We present here a technological study of a collection of 17 archaeological pearl-shell tattooing combs. They have been discovered in three archipelagoes of French Polynesia. The study offers a reconstitution of the manufacturing processes involved in the “chaîne opératoire”. Then, the combs are integrated to the existing typologies. For the first time, we also put them back in a diachronic perspective that allows new reflections about a model of regional development of these artifacts.
