Coastal Landscapes of the Mesolithic: Human Engagement with the
Coast from the Atlantic to the Baltic Sea explores the character
and significance of coastal landscapes in the Mesolithic - on
different scales and with various theoretical perspectives and
methodological approaches. Mesolithic people were strongly
connected to the sea, with coastal areas vital for subsistence and
communication across the water. This anthology includes case
studies from Scandinavia, western Europe and the Baltic area,
presented by key international researchers. Topics addressed
include large-scale analyses of the archaeological and geological
development of coastal areas, the exploration of coastal
environments with interdisciplinary methods, the discussion of the
character of coastal settlements and of their possible networks,
social and economic practices along the coast, as well as
perceptions and cosmological aspects of coastal areas. Together,
these topics and approaches contribute in an innovative way to the
understanding of the complexity of topographically changing coastal
areas as both border zones between land and sea and as connecting
landscapes. Providing novel insights into the study of the
Mesolithic as well as coastal areas and landscapes in general, the
book is an important resource for researchers of the Mesolithic and
coastal archaeology.
