The relationships between humans and aquatic mammals in the
Neotropics has been important since archaic times in the American
continent, but also varied across time and space, a fact taken on
by this publication. In this book, the chapters were written by
experts in the field of zooarchaeology, environmental archaeology
and conservation biology and different lines of evidence and
research questions are used to offer an archaeological approach to
these long term relationships. One of the aims of this book is to
discuss research questions, methodologies and results pursued and
obtained across the different Neotropical regions. The range of
variations in the zooarchaeological evidences that result from the
aquatic mammal exploitation across time and space still cannot be
clearly defined, and the book's chapters show clearly that
different archaeological expectations on this matter seem to be
linked to the ecological properties and internal subdivisions of
the Neotropical region. Thus, the book leads the reader to consider
the different ways humans impacted on aquatic mammal populations in
both, the prehistoric and historic past. For that reason, we
believe that the archaeological data can contribute to deepen the
knowledge about the natural history of the Neotropical aquatic
mammals, eventually even helping to evaluate the ecological status
of aquatic mammals in different areas of this region.
